bread

John 6 

35 Jesus replied, 

“I am the bread of life. 

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. 

Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 

36 But you haven’t believed in me 

even though you have seen me. 

37 However, those the Father has given me will come to me, 

and I will never reject them. 

38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, 

not to do my own will. 

39 And this is the will of God, 

that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, 

but that I should raise them up at the last day. 

40 For it is my Father’s will 

that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. 

I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

43 But Jesus replied, “Stop complaining about what I said. 44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. 45 As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)
