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.
27aDo 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?
31aOur 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.
33For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34aThen 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.
36aBut I said to you that you have seen Me and yet bdo not believe.
37aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and bthe one who comes to Me I will1by no means cast out.
38For I have come down from heaven, anot to do My own will, bbut the will of Him who sent Me.
