42 So they said, "This man is Jesus son of Joseph, isn't he? We know his father and mother. How, then, does he now say he came down from heaven?"

44 People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day.
45 The prophets wrote, "Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me. 1

48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died.
