“Whoever
Comes To Me
Will Never Go Hungry”
“Sir,”
they said, “always give us this bread.”
Then
Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go
hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you,
you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me
will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have
come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And
this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose
none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my
Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall
have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
At
this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread
that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from
heaven’?”
“Stop
grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. “No one can come to me unless the
Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. It is
written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has
heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father
except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. Very truly I tell
you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your
ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread
that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living
bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
John 6:34-51
