Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you aren't looking for me because you saw me do miracles. You are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied.
27
Don't work for the food that spoils. Work for the food that stays good always and gives eternal life. The Son of Man will give you this food, because on him God the Father has put his power."
28
The people asked Jesus, "What are the things God wants us to do?"
29
Jesus answered, "The work God wants you to do is this: Believe the One he sent."
30
So the people asked, "What miracle will you do? If we see a miracle, we will believe you. What will you do?
31
Our fathers ate the manna in the desert. This is written in the Scriptures: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.
33
God's bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
34
The people said, "Sir, give us this bread always."
35
Then Jesus said, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36
But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don't believe.
