35 Jesus said to them, ^x“I am the bread of life; whoever ^ycomes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me ^zshall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father ^agives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, ^bnot to do my own will but ^cthe will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, ^dthat I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that ^eeveryone who looks on the Son and ^fbelieves in him should have eternal life, and I will ^graise him up on the last day.”

41 So ^hthe Jews ⁱgrumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, ^j“Is not this Jesus, ^kthe son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^lwe know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

48 ^rI am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
