No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^(bo)draws him; and I will ^(bp)raise him up on the last day.

It is written ^(bq)in the prophets, ‘^(br) And they shall all be ^(bs) taught of God .' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

^(bt)Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes ^(bu)has eternal life.

^(bv)I am the bread of life.

^(bw)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

This is the bread which ^(bx)comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and ^(by)not die.

^(bz)I am the living bread that ^(ca)came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, ^(cb)he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give ^(cc)for the life of the world is ^(cd)My flesh."

^(ce)Then the Jews ^(cf)began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^(cg)the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will ^(ch)raise him up on the last day.

For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood ^(ci)abides in Me, and I in him.

As the ^(cj)living Father ^(ck)sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

This is the bread which ^(cl)came down out of heaven; not as ^(cm)the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread ^(cn)will live forever."

These things He said ^(co)in the synagogue as He taught ^(cp)in Capernaum.

Therefore many of His ^(cq)disciples, when they heard this said, "^(cr)This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

But Jesus, ^(cs)conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this ^(ct)cause you to stumble?

What then if you see ^(cu)the Son of Man ^(cv)ascending to where He was before?

^(cw)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; ^(cx)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

But there are ^(cy)some of you who do not believe." For Jesus ^(cz)knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and ^(da)who it was that would ^[j]betray Him.

And He was saying, "For this reason I have ^(db)said to you, that no one can come to Me unless ^(dc)it has been granted him from the Father."

As a result of this many of His ^(dd)disciples ^(de)withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

So Jesus said to ^(df)the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"

^(dg)Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^(dh)words of eternal life.

We have believed and have come to know that You are ^(di)the Holy One of God."
