John 6:39-54

New American Standard Bible

³⁹And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of ^(A)everything that He has given Me I will ^(B)lose nothing, but will ^(C)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who ^(D)sees the Son and ^(E)believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will ^(F)raise him up on the last day.”

Words to the Jews

⁴¹^(G)So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that ^(H)came down out of heaven.” ⁴²And they were saying, “^(I)Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^(J)we know? How does He now say, ‘^(K)I have come down out of heaven’?” ⁴³Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop complaining among yourselves. ⁴⁴No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^(L)draws him; and I will ^(M)raise him up on the last day. ⁴⁵It is written ^(N)in the Prophets: ‘^(O)And they shall all be ^(P)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. ⁴⁶^(Q)Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. ⁴⁷Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes ^(R)has eternal life. ⁴⁸^(S)I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹^(T)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰This is the bread that ^(U)comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and ^(V)not die. ⁵¹^(W)I am the living bread that ^(X)came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, ^(Y)he will live forever; and the bread which I will give ^(Z)for the life of the world also is ^(AA)My flesh.”

⁵²^(AB)Then the Jews ^(AC)began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” ⁵³So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^(AD)the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will ^(AE)raise him up on the last day.
