John 6:25-35

²⁵They found him on the other side. 'Rabbi,' they said, 'when did you come here?' ²⁶Jesus replied, 'In very truth I know that you have not come looking for me because you saw signs, but because you ate the bread and your hunger was satisfied. ²⁷You must work, not for this perishable food, but for the food that lasts, the food of eternal life.

'This food the Son of Man will give you, for he it is upon whom the Father has set the seal of his authority.' ²⁸'Then what must we do', they asked him, 'if we are to work as God would have us work?' ²⁹Jesus replied, 'This is the work that God requires: believe in the one whom he has sent.'

³⁰They said, 'What sign can you give us to see, so that we may believe you? What is the work you do? ³¹Our ancestors had manna to eat in the desert, as Scripture says, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."' ³²Jesus answered, 'I tell you this: the truth is, not that Moses gave you the bread from heaven, but that my Father gives you the real bread from heaven. ³³The bread that God gives comes down [Or: is he who comes down ...] from heaven and brings life to the world.' ³⁴They said to him, 'Sir, give us this bread now and always.' ³⁵Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall never be hungry, and whoever believes in me shall never be thirsty.
