31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘Out of heaven He gave them bread to eat.’”[a]

32 Yeshua answered them, “Amen, amen I tell you, it isn’t Moses who has given you bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the One coming down from heaven and giving life to the world.”

34 So they said to Him, “Sir, give us this bread from now on!”

35 Yeshua said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty. 36 But I told you that you have seen Me, yet you do not believe. 37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and anyone coming to Me I will never reject. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will but the will of the One who sent Me.

39 “Now this is the will of the One who sent Me, that I lose not one of all He has given Me, but raise each one on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and trusts in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.”

31 Our ancestors ate the manna(A) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a](B)

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, 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 the bread that comes down from heaven(C) and gives life to the world.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(D)

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(E) the bread of life.(F) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(G) in me will never be thirsty.(H) 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me(I) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven(J) not to do my will but to do the will(K) of him who sent me.(L) 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,(M) but raise them up at the last day.(N) 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son(O) and believes in him shall have eternal life,(P) and I will raise them up at the last day.”

  1. John 6:31 Exodus 16:4; Neh. 9:15; Psalm 78:24,25

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

32 Then 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.

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

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

35 And 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.

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

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

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

39 And 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.

40 And 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.
