John 6:39-51 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

39. Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.

40. So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

41. Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: "I am the living bread, who descended from heaven."

42. And they said: "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Then how can he say: 'For I descended from heaven?' "

43. And so Jesus responded and said to them: "Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.

44. No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

45. It has been written in the Prophets: 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.

46. Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.

47. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.

48. I am the bread of life.

49. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.

50. This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.

51. I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
