bwe John:6:26-58
bwe@John:6:26 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. You do not want me because you saw the big works I did, but you want me because you ate all the bread you wanted.
bwe@John:6:27 @ Do not work for the food that spoils, but work for the food that will never spoil, the food that will give you life for ever. The Son of Man will give you that food. God my Father has chosen him to do that.
bwe@John:6:28 @ They asked him, What works does God ask us to do?
bwe@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, The work that God asks you to do is to believe in the one whom he has sent.
bwe@John:6:30 @ They said, What big work will you do? We want to see it and believe you. What work are you are going to do?
bwe@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate bread in the wilderness. The holy writings say, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. It was not Moses who gave you that bread from heaven. But my Father gives you true bread from heaven.
bwe@John:6:33 @ He who comes down from heaven is the bread that God gives. He is the one who gives life to the world.
bwe@John:6:34 @ They said to him, Lord, give us this bread always!
bwe@John:6:35 @ Jesus said, I am the bread that gives life. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty.
bwe@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me, and yet you will not believe in me.
bwe@John:6:37 @ All those whom my Father gives me, they will come to me. I will never turn anyone away who comes to me.
bwe@John:6:38 @ I did not come down from heaven to do what I myself want to do. I came to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.
bwe@John:6:39 @ My Father sent me. He wants me to lose nothing that he has given me. And he wants me to raise it up on the last day.
bwe@John:6:40 @ My Father wants everyone who sees his Son and believes in him to live for ever. I will raise him up on the last day.
bwe@John:6:41 @ The leaders of the Jews did not like Jesus to say, I am the bread that has come down from heaven.
bwe@John:6:42 @ They said, Is he not Josephs son, Jesus? We know his father and mother. How can he say, "I have come down from heaven"?
bwe@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them, There is no need for you to talk against me to each other.
bwe@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me if my Father does not draw him. He sent me. I myself will raise up the one who comes to me. I will bring him back to life on the last day.
bwe@John:6:45 @ The prophets wrote, "God will teach all people." So then, every person who listens to his words and learns what he says, he will come to me.
bwe@John:6:46 @ But no person has seen my Father. The only one who has seen him is the one who comes from God. He has seen my Father.
bwe@John:6:47 @ I tell you the truth. The person who believes in me will live for ever.
bwe@John:6:48 @ I am the bread that gives life.
bwe@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate bread in the desert long ago, but they died.
bwe@John:6:50 @ Here is bread that comes down from heaven. The person who eats this bread will never die.
bwe@John:6:51 @ I am the bread that gives life. I came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. I will give bread so that the world may live. I am that bread.
bwe@John:6:52 @ The leaders of the Jews began to quarrel with each other about what Jesus said. They said, How can he give us himself to eat?
bwe@John:6:53 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If you do not eat the Son of Man and do not drink his blood, you will not have life.
bwe@John:6:54 @ Anyone who eats me and drinks my blood will live for ever. I will raise him up at the last day.
bwe@John:6:55 @ I am real food, and my blood is real drink.
bwe@John:6:56 @ Anyone who eats me and drinks my blood is in me and I in him.
bwe@John:6:57 @ My Father is living. He sent me. I have my life from him. In the same way, the person who eats of me will live because of me.
bwe@John:6:58 @ This bread which came down from heaven is not like the bread that your fathers ate. They ate bread but they died. Anyone who eats this bread from heaven will live for ever.
