[SUP]27 [/SUP]Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
[SUP]29[/SUP]Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
[SUP]31 [/SUP]Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
[SUP]36 [/SUP]But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
[SUP]37 [/SUP]All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
[SUP]43 [/SUP]Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
[SUP]46 [/SUP]Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
[SUP]48 [/SUP]I am that bread of life.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
[SUP]51 [/SUP]I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
[SUP]52 [/SUP]The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
[SUP]53 [/SUP]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
[SUP]54 [/SUP]Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
[SUP]55 [/SUP]For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
[SUP]56 [/SUP]He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
[SUP]57 [/SUP]As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
[SUP]58 [/SUP]This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
[SUP]59 [/SUP]These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
[SUP]60 [/SUP]Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
[SUP]61 [/SUP]When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
[SUP]62 [/SUP]What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
[SUP]63[/SUP]It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
