life that the Son of Man* can give you.
For God the Father has given me the seal
of his approval.”
28 They replied, “We want to perform
God’s works, too. What should we do?”
29
Jesus told them, “This is the only
work God wants from you: Believe in the
one he has sent.”
30 They answered, “Show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you.
What can you do? 31 After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed
through the wilderness! The Scriptures
say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven
to eat.’*”
32
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth,
Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven.
My Father did. And now he offers you the
true bread from heaven. 33 The true bread
of God is the one who comes down from
heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread
every day.”
35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of
life. Whoever comes to me will never be
hungry again. Whoever believes in me
will never be thirsty. 36 But you haven’t
believed in me even though you have
seen me. 37 However, those the Father
has given me will come to me, and
I will never reject them. 38 For I have
come down from heaven to do the will
of God who sent me, not to do my own
will. 39 And this is the will of God, that
I should not lose even one of all those
he has given me, but that I should raise
them up at the last day. 40 For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and
believe in him should have eternal life. I
will raise them up at the last day.”
41 Then the people* began to murmur
in disagreement because he had said,
“I am the bread that came down from
heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus,
the son of Joseph? We know his father
and mother. How can he say, ‘I came
down from heaven’?”
43 But
Jesus replied, “Stop complaining about what I said. 44 For no one can
come to me unless the Father who sent
me draws them to me, and at the last day
I will raise them up. 45 As it is written in
6:27 “Son of Man” is a title Jesus used for himself.
6:31 Exod 16:4; Ps 78:24. 6:41 Greek Jewish people;
also in 6:52. 6:45 Greek in the prophets. Isa 54:13.

the Scriptures,* ‘They will all be taught
by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have
seen him.)
47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who
believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am
the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate
manna in the wilderness, but they all
died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from
heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am
the living bread that came down from
heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will
live forever; and this bread, which I will
offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”
52 Then the people began arguing with
each other about what he meant. “How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
they asked.
53 So
Jesus said again, “I tell you the
truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son
of Man and drink his blood, you cannot
have eternal life within you. 54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my
blood has eternal life, and I will raise
that person at the last day. 55 For my flesh
is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks
my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 I
live because of the living Father who sent
me; in the same way, anyone who feeds
on me will live because of me. 58 I am the
true bread that came down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread will not die
as your ancestors did (even though they
ate the manna) but will live forever.”
59 He said these things while he was
teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
MANY DISCIPLES DESERT JESUS
Many of his disciples said, “This is very
hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”
61
Jesus was aware that his disciples
were complaining, so he said to them,
“Does this offend you? 62 Then what
will you think if you see the Son of Man
60
T H E WAY
(6:26-27) Jesus knew that many of the people who
followed him did so only because he fed them miraculously. Yet they weren’t “hungry” for the truth. True
believers follow Jesus simply because they know his
way is the way to live. Is that why you follow him?
