* And when they found him on the other side of the sea , they said to him , Rabbi , when did you come here ? * Jesus answered them and said , Truly , truly , I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), You {+} seek me , not because you {+} saw signs , but because you {+} ate of the loaves , and were filled . * Don 't work for the food which perishes , but for the food which stays to eternal life , which the Son of Man will give to you (note :){+}(:note ): for him the Father , even God , has sealed . * They said therefore to him , What must we do , that we may work the works of God ? * Jesus answered and said to them , This is the work of God , that you (note :){+}(:note ) believe on him whom he has sent . * They said therefore to him , What then do you do for a sign , that we may see , and believe you ? What work do you do ? * Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness ; as it is written , He gave them bread out of heaven to eat . * Jesus therefore said to them , Truly , truly , I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), Has not Moses given you {+} the bread out of heaven ? But my Father gives you {+} the true bread out of heaven . * For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven , and gives life to the world . * They said therefore to him , Lord , evermore give us this bread . * Jesus said to them . I am the bread of life : he who comes to me will not hunger , and he who believes on me will never thirst . * But I said to you (note :){+}(:note ), that you {+} have seen me , and yet do not believe . * All that which the Father gives me will come to me ; and him who comes to me I will in no way cast out . * For I have come down from heaven , not to do my own will , but the will of him who sent me . * And this is the will of him who sent me , that of all that which he has given me I should lose nothing , but should raise it up on the last day . * For this is the will of my Father , that everyone looking at the Son , and believing on him , should have eternal life ; and I will raise him up on the last day . * The Jews therefore murmured concerning him , because he said , I am the bread which came down out of heaven . * And they said , Isn 't this Jesus , the son of Joseph , whose father and mother we know ? How does he now say , I have come down out of heaven ? * Jesus answered and said to them , Do not murmur among yourselves . * No man can come to me , except the Father who sent me draws him : and I will raise him up in the last day . * It is written in the prophets , And they will all be taught of God . Everyone who has heard from the Father , and has learned , comes to me . * Not that any man has seen the Father , except he who is from God , he has seen the Father . * Truly , truly , I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), He who believes has eternal life . * I am the bread of life . * Your (note :){+}(:note ) fathers ate the manna in the wilderness , and they died . * This is the bread which comes down out of heaven , that a man may eat of it , and not die . * I am the living bread which came down out of heaven : if any man eats of this bread , he will live forever : yes and the bread which I will give is my flesh , for the life of the world . * The Jews therefore strove one with another , saying , How can this man give us his flesh to eat ? * Jesus therefore said to them , Truly , truly , I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), Except you {+} eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood , you {+} don 't have life in yourselves . * He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life : and I will raise him up at the last day . * For my flesh is meat indeed , and my blood is drink indeed . * He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood stays in me , and I in him . * As the living Father sent me , and I live because of the Father ; so he who eats me , he also will live because of me . * This is the bread which came down out of heaven : not as the fathers ate , and died ; he who eats this bread will live forever . * These things he said in the synagogue , as he taught in Capernaum .
