John 6:55–65

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

6:30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

6:31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

6:32Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

6:33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

6:34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

6:35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

6:36But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

6:37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

6:38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

6:39And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

6:40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

6:42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

6:44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

6:46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

6:48I am that bread of life.

6:49Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

6:50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

6:52The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

6:53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
