Words to the Jews

41 4Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that 5came down out of heaven."
42 They were saying, "6Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother 7we know? How does He now say, '8I have come down out of heaven '?"
43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
44 "No one can come to Me unless * the Father who sent Me 9draws him; and I will 10raise him up on the last day.
45 "It is written 11in the prophets, '12AND THEY SHALL ALL BE 13TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
46 "14Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.
47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes 15has eternal life.
48 "16I am the bread of life.
49 "17Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50 "This is the bread which 18comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and 19not die.
