John 6 — Context

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

I am the bread of life.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

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.
