Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, `He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."
32
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.
33
For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."
34
"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."
35
"I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.
36
But it is as I have said to you: you have seen me and yet you do not believe.
37
Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.
38
For I have left Heaven and have come down to earth not to seek my own pleasure, but to do the will of Him who sent me.
39
And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.
40
For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."
41
Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.
