New Testament

John 6:31-46 Common English Bible (CEB)

31. Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."

32. Jesus told them, "I assure you, it wasn’t Moses who gave the bread from heaven to you, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33. The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

34. They said, "Sir, give us this bread all the time!"

35. Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

36. But I told you that you have seen me and still don’t believe.

37. Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and I won’t send away anyone who comes to me.

38. I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me.

39. This is the will of the one who sent me, that I won’t lose anything he has given me, but I will raise it up at the last day.

40. This is my Father’s will: that all who see the Son and believe in him will have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

41. The Jewish opposition grumbled about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

42. They asked, "Isn’t this Jesus, Joseph’s son, whose mother and father we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?"

43. Jesus responded, "Don’t grumble among yourselves.

44. No one can come to me unless they are drawn to me by the Father who sent me, and I will raise them up at the last day.

45. It is written in the Prophets, And they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has listened to the Father and learned from him comes to me.

46. No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God. He has seen the Father.
