39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, athat of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, athat everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Rejected by His Own
41 The Jews then1 complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
42 And they said, a“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them,1 “Do not murmur among yourselves.
44 aNo one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me bdraws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, a‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ bTherefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
48 aI am the bread of life.
49 aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 aThis is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread awhich came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and bthe bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
