Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

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.

47
Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.
48
I am the bread of life.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.
51
I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.
