³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.^{(A) 36} But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.^{(B) 37} Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away,^{(C) 38} for I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.^{(D) 39} And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me but raise it up on the last day.^{(E) 40} This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.”^(F)

⁴¹ Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” ⁴² They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”^(G)

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”^(A)
