38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.
39
And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.
40
This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.
41
Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?
43
Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.
44
No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.
45
The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.
46
Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.
47
Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.
48
I am the bread of life.
