John 6:25-41 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26. Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

27. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”

28. So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?”

29. Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”

30. So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?

31. Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32. So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34. So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

35. Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

36. But I told you that although you have seen [me], you do not believe.

37. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,

38. because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

39. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day.

40. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.”

41. The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”
