John 6:32-42

32 Jesus said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Moses didn't give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 God's bread is the man who comes from heaven and gives life to the world."
34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."
35 Jesus told them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.
36 I've told you that you have seen me. However, you don't believe in me.
37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me.
38 I haven't come from heaven to do what I want to do. I've come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.
39 The one who sent me doesn't want me to lose any of those he gave me. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.
40 My Father wants all those who see the Son and believe in him to have eternal life. He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day."
41 The Jews began to criticize Jesus for saying, "I am the bread that came from heaven."
42 They asked, "Isn't this man Jesus, Joseph's son? Don't we know his father and mother? How can he say now, 'I came from heaven'?"
