John 6:27-37

27 "Do not 1work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to 2eternal life, which 3the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, 4has set His seal."
28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is 5the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He 6has sent."
30 So they said to Him, "7What then do You do for a 8sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?
31 "9Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, '10HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.' "
32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.
33 "For the bread of God is that which 11comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always 12give us this bread."
35 Jesus said to them, "13I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me 14will never * thirst.
36 "But 15I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.
37 "16All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly * not cast out.
