St John 6:37-52 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

37. All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.

38. Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39. Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.

40. And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.

41. The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

42. And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?

43. Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

44. No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

45. It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.

46. Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.

47. Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.

48. I am the bread of life.

49. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.

50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.

51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

52. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.
