John 6:26
Compare all
24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, aseeking Jesus.  
25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 aDo not labor for the food which perishes, but bfor the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, cbecause God the Father has set His seal on Him.”  
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, a“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”  
30 Therefore they said to Him, a“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?  
31 aOur fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, b‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”  
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but aMy Father gives you the true bread from heaven.  
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 aThen they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”  
35 And Jesus said to them, a“I am the bread of life. bHe who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never cthirst.  
36 aBut I said to you that you have seen Me and yet bdo not believe.  
37 aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and bthe one who comes to Me I will1 by no means cast out.  
38 For I have come down from heaven, anot to do My own will, bbut the will of Him who sent Me.  
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.  
46 aNot that anyone has seen the Father, bexcept He who is from God; He has seen the Father.  
47 Most assuredly, I say to you, ahe who believes in Me has everlasting life.  
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.”  
52 The Jews therefore aquarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”  
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless ayou eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.  
54 aWhoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  
55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is2 drink indeed.  
56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood aabides in Me, and I in him.  
57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58 aThis is the bread which came down from heaven—not bas your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”  
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

Many Disciples Turn Away

60 aTherefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a1 hard saying; who can understand it?”
