John 6:37-51 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

47. I assure you, whoever believes has eternal life.

48. I am the bread of life.

49. Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness and they died.

50. This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that whoever eats from it will never die.

51. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
