27
Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.
28
Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?
29
Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.
30
So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?
31
Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.
32
Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33
The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
34
Ah, Lord, they said, give us that bread for ever!
35
And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.
36
But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.
37
Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.
