Jesus Declares, 'I Am the Bread of Life'

35

And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst--at any time;

36

but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

37

all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

38

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

39

`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

40

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

41

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

42

and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one--Out of the heaven I have come down?'

43

Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

44

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

45

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

46

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

47

`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

48

I am the bread of the life;

49

your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

50

this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
