John 6:28-40

New International Version

²⁸ Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

²⁹ Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe^(A) in the one he has sent.”^(B)

³⁰ So they asked him, “What sign^(C) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?^(D) What will you do? ³¹ Our ancestors ate the manna^(E) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’^[a]”^(F)

³² Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven^(G) and gives life to the world.”

³⁴ “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”^(H)

³⁵ Then Jesus declared, “I am^(I) the bread of life.^(J) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes^(K) in me will never be thirsty.^{(L) 36} But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. ³⁷ All those the Father gives me^(M) will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. ³⁸ For I have come down from heaven^(N) not to do my will but to do the will^(O) of him who sent me.^{(P) 39} And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,^(Q) but raise them up at the last day.^{(R) 40} For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son^(S) and believes in him shall have eternal life,^(T) and I will raise them up at the last day.”
