John 6:22-58

Lamsa(i) 22 The next day, the multitude which stood waiting at the seaport saw no other boat there, except the boat in which the disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples. 23 But other boats had come from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread, when Jesus blessed it. 24 And when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they entered the boats and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. 25 And when they found him at the seaport, they said to him, Teacher, when did you come here? 26 Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but just because you ate bread and were filled. 27 Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you; for this one God the Father has sealed. 28 They said to him, What shall we do to work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you should believe in him whom he has sent. 30 They said to him, What miracle do you perform that we may see and believe in you? What have you performed? 31 Our forefathers ate manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, It was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who has come down from heaven, and gives life to the 34 They said to him, Our Lord, give us this bread always. 35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall never hunger; and he who believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I have said to you, that you have seen me and yet you do not believe. 37 Everyone whom my Father has given me shall come to me; and he who comes to me, I will not cast him out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not merely to do my own will, but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that whoever sees the Son and believes in him, shall have life everlasting; and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 Now the Jews murmured against him, for he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how can he say, I have come down from heaven? 43 Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur one with another. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 For it is written in the prophet, They shall all be taught by God. Everyone therefore who hears from the Father and learns from him, will come to me. 46 No man can see the Father, except he who is from God, he can see the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your forefathers ate manna in the wilderness, and yet they died. 50 This is the bread which came down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread because I came down from heaven; if any man eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give, is my body, which I am giving for the sake of the life of the world. 52 The Jews argued one with another, saying, How can this man give us his body to eat? 53 Jesus said to them. Truly, truly I say to you, Unless you eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves, 54 He who eats of my body, and drinks of my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him at the last day. 55 For my body truly is the food, and my blood truly is the drink. 56 He who eats my body and drinks my blood, will abide with me, and I with him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I am living because of the Father, so whoever eats me, will also live because of me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; it is not like that manna which your forefathers ate and died; he who eats of this bread shall live forever.
