John 6:25-40

English Standard Version

²⁵ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ^(A)“Rabbi, when did you come here?” ²⁶ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(B)you are seeking me, not because you saw ^(C)signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ^27 (D)Do not work for the food that perishes, but for ^(E)the food that endures to eternal life, which ^(F)the Son of Man will give to you. For on ^(G)him God the Father has ^(H)set his seal.” ²⁸ Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^(I)the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^(J)that you believe in him whom ^(K)he has sent.” ³⁰ So they said to him, ^(L)“Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? ^31 (M)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ^(N)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” ³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is ^(O)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, ^(P)“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, ^(Q)“I am the bread of life; ^(R)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. ^37 (S)All that ^(T)the Father gives me will come to me, and ^(U)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. ³⁸ For ^(V)I have come down from heaven, not to do ^(W)my own will but ^(X)the will of him ^(Y)who sent me. ³⁹ And ^(Z)this is the will of him who sent me, ^(AA)that I should lose nothing of ^(AB)all that he has given me, but ^(AC)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^(AD)looks on the Son and ^(AE)believes in him ^(AF)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
