John 6:26-29

New Testament for Everyone

Bread from heaven

²⁶ This was Jesus’ reply.

“I’m telling you the solemn truth,” he said. “You aren’t looking for me because you saw signs, but because you ate as much bread as you could. ²⁷ You shouldn’t be working for perishable food, but for food that will last to the life of God’s coming age—the food which the son of man will give you, the person whom God the father has stamped with the seal of his approval.”

²⁸ “What should we be doing,” they asked him, “so that we can be doing the work God wants?”

²⁹ “This is the work God wants of you,” replied Jesus, “that you believe in the one he sent.”
