John
6:25-71
25 When
they found Him on the other side of the lake,
They asked
him, Rabbi, “when did you get here?”
26 Jesus
answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for Me,
Not
because you saw miraculous signs
But
because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27 DO
NOT WORK FOR FOOD THAT SPOILS,
BUT FOR
FOOD THAT ENDURES TO ETERNAL LIFE.
WHICH
THE SON OF MAN WILL GIVE YOU.
ON HIM
GOD THE FATHER HAS PLACED HIS SEAL OF APPROVAL.'
28 Then
they asked him,
'WHAT
MUST WE DO TO DO THE WORKS GOD REQUIRES?'
29 Jesus
answered,
'THE
WORK OF GOD IS THIS: TO BELIEVE THE ONE HE HAS SENT.'
30 So they
asked Him,
“What
miraculous sign then will You give
That we
may see it and believe You?”
What will
You do?
31 Our
forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written:
‘He gave
them bread from heaven to eat.’
32 Jesus
said to them, “I tell you the truth,
It is not
Moses who has given you the bread from Heaven,
But it is
My Father Who gives you the true bread from Heaven.
33 For the
bread of God is He Who comes down from Heaven
And gives
LIFE to the World.”
34 'Sir,'
they said, 'from now on give us this bread.'
35 Then
Jesus declared,
'I AM
THE BREAD OF LIFE.
He who
comes to Me will never go hungry,
And he who
believes in Me will never be thirsty.
36 But as
I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
37 All
that the Father gives Me will come to Me,
And
whoever comes to Me I will never drive away.
38 For I
have come down from Heaven not to do My will
But to do
the will of Him Who sent Me.
39 And
this is the will of Him Who sent Me,
That
I shall lose none of all that He has given Me,
But raise
them up at the last day.
40 FOR
MY FATHER'S WILL IS
THAT
EVERYONE WHO LOOKS TO THE SON AND BELIEVES HIM
SHALL
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE,
AND I
WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY.'
41 At this
the Jews began to grumble about Him because He said,
'I am the
bread that came down from Heaven.'
42 They
said , 'Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,
Whose
father and mother we know?
How can He
now say, ’I came down from Heaven’?'
43 'Stop
grumbling among yourselves,' Jesus answered.
44 'No one
can come to Me
Unless the
Father who sent Me draws him,
And I will
raise him up at the Last Day.
45 It is
written in the Prophets;
‘They
will all be taught by God.’
Everyone
who listens to the Father
And learns
from Him comes to Me.
46 No one
has seen the Father except the One Who is from God;
Only He
has seen the Father.
47 I tell
you the truth, he who believes has Everlasting LIFE.
48 I AM
THE BREAD OF LIFE.
49 Your
forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.
50 But
here is the bread that comes down from Heaven,
Which a
man may eat and not die.
51 I AM
THE LIVING BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
If a man
eats of this bread he will live forever.
This bread
is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the World.”
52 Then
the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves,
“How can
this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus
said to them,
'I TELL
YOU THE TRUTH,
UNLESS
YOU EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN
AND
DRINK HIS BLOOD, YOU HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.
54 Whoever
eats My flesh and drinks My blood has Eternal LIFE,
And I will
raise him up at the Last Day.
55 For My
flesh is real food and My blood real drink.
56
WHOEVER EATS MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD
REMAINS
IN ME, AND I IN HIM.
57 Just as
the living Father sent Me
And I live
because of the Father,
SO THE
ONE WHO FEEDS ON ME WILL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME.
58 This is
the bread that came down from heaven.
Our
forefathers ate manna and died,
But he who
feeds on this bread will live forever.'
59 He said
this while teaching in the Synagogue in Capernaum.
(John
6:25-59)
