John 6:37-51

New King James Version

^37 (A)All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and ^(B)the one who comes to Me I will ^[a]by no means cast out. ³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, ^(C)not to do My own will, ^(D)but the will of Him who sent Me. ³⁹ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, ^(E)that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^(F)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Rejected by His Own

⁴¹ The Jews then ^[b]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” ⁴² And they said, ^(G)“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, ^[c]“Do not murmur among yourselves. ^44 (H)No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^(I)draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, ^(J)‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ ^(K)Therefore everyone who ^[d]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. ^46 (L)Not that anyone has seen the Father, ^(M)except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(N)he who believes ^[e]in Me has everlasting life. ^48 (O)I am the bread of life. ^49 (P)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. ^50 (Q)This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(R)which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and ^(S)the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
