John 6:41-51

[41] The Jews  then  murmured  at  him,  because  he said,  am  the bread  which  came down  from  heaven.  [42] And  they said,  not  this  Jesus,  the son  of Joseph,  whose  father  and  mother  know?  how is it  that he  saith,  I came down  from  heaven?  [43] Jesus  answered  and  said  unto them,  Murmur  not  among  yourselves.  [44] No man  can  come  to  the Father  which  hath sent  draw  him:  him  up  at the last  day.  [45] written  in  the prophets,  And  all  taught  of God.  Every man  that hath heard,  and  hath learned  of  the Father,  cometh  unto  [46] Not  that  any man  hath seen  the Father,  he which  is  of God,  he  hath seen  the Father.  [47] Verily,  I say  He that believeth  hath  everlasting  life.  [48] am  that bread  of life.  [49] fathers  did eat  manna  in  the wilderness,  and  are dead.  [50] This  the bread  which  cometh down  from  heaven,  a man  may eat  thereof,  and  die.  [51] am  the living  bread  which  came down  from  heaven:  if  any man  eat  of  bread,  he shall live  for  ever:  and  the bread  that  will give  flesh,  which  will give  for  the life  of the world.
