Contextual Overview

28 then said they to him, what shall we do, that our works may he agreeable to God? 29 Jesus answered them, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 but said they, what miracle then will you let us see to make us believe you? what strange work will you perform? 31 our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "he gave them bread from heaven to eat." 32 Jesus answer'd, I assure you, Moses did not give you the celestial bread; but my father gives you the true celestial bread. 33 for he who is descended from heaven, and gives life to the world, is the bread that is truely divine. 34 then said they, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 Jesus answer'd, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst. 36 but I have already told you, that tho' you have seen me, you do not believe. 37 all those whom my father gives me, shall come to me; and I will not reject any that come to me.
