New Testament

John 6:31-45 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

31. Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32. So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34. So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

35. Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

36. But I told you that although you have seen [me], you do not believe.

37. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,

38. because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

39. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day.

40. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.”

41. The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

42. and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43. Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring among yourselves.

44. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.

45. It is written in the prophets:‘They shall all be taught by God.’Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
