The Holy Gospel According to John    6 : 41-51

6:41 Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: “I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.”
6:42 And they said: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Then how can he say: ‘For I descended from heaven?’ ”
6:43 And so Jesus responded and said to them: “Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.
6:44 No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45 It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48 I am the bread of life.
6:49 Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50 This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51 I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
