John 6:37-59

Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out.   For I have come down from heaven,   not to do my own will, but the will of him   who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me: that I should lose none of those he has given me but should raise   them up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father:   that everyone who sees the Son   and believes in him will have eternal life, and I will raise   him up on the last day.” Therefore the Jews started grumbling about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph,  whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’? ” Jesus answered them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws   him, and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets:   And they will all be taught by God.   , Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father   comes to me #— # not that anyone has seen the Father   except the one who is from God.   He has seen the Father.   “Truly I tell you, anyone who believes   has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna   in the wilderness,   and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.   I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live   forever.   The bread that I will give for the life   of the world is my flesh.”   At that, the Jews argued  among themselves,  “How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ” So Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man   and drink his blood,   you do not have life in yourselves. The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood   has eternal life, and I will raise   him up on the last day, because my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.   Just as the living   Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live   because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna   your ancestors ate #— #and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”   He said these things while teaching in the synagogue  in Capernaum.
