For on him, God the Father has set his seal of approval.' 28 Then they said to him, 'What must we do to perform the works of God?' 29 Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God: that you believe in the one he has sent.' 30 So they said to him, 'What sign will you perform, so that we may see and believe you? What will you do?' 31 'Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."' 32 Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.' 33 'For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.' 34 They said to him, 'Sir, always give us this bread.' 35 Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.' 36 'But as I told you, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe.' 37 'All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.' 38 'For I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but 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 those he has given me, but raise them up on the last day.' 40 For this is the will of my Father: that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise them up on 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 have come down from heaven’?'. 43 Jesus answered, 'Stop grumbling among yourselves.' 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned 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 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, they will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 Then the Jews argued sharply among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' 53 Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, 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 them up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who eats me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.
