And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they saide vnto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

Iesus answered them, and said, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Ye seeke me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because yee did eate of the loaues, and were filled.

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth vnto euerlasting life, which the Sonne of man shall giue vnto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Then said they vnto him, What shall we doe, that we might worke the workes of God?

Iesus answered, and said vnto them, This is the worke of God, that ye beleeue on him whom he hath sent.

They said therefore vnto him, What signe shewest thou then, that we may see, and beleeue thee? What doest thou worke?

Our fathers did eate Manna in the desert, as it is written, He gaue them bread from heauen to eate.

Then Iesus said vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Moses gaue you not that bread from heauen, but my Father giueth you the true bread from heauen.

For the bread of God is hee which commeth downe from heauen, and giueth life vnto the world.

Then said they vnto him, Lord, euermore giue vs this bread.

And Iesus said vnto them, I am the bread of life: hee that commeth to me, shall neuer hunger: and he that beleeueth on me, shall neuer thirst.

But I said vnto you, that ye also haue seene me, and beleeue not.

All that the Father giueth mee, shall come to mee; and him that commeth to me, I will in no wise cast out.

For I came downe from heauen, not to doe mine owne will, but the will of him that sent me.

And this is the Fathers wil which hath sent me, that of all which he hath giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but should raise it vp againe at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that euery one which seeth the Sonne, and beleeueth on him, may haue euerlasting life: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

The Iewes then murmured at him, because hee said, I am the bread which came downe from heauen.

And they said, Is not this Iesus the sonne of Ioseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that hee sayth, I came downe from heauen?

Iesus therefore answered, and said vnto them, Murmure not among your selues.

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me, draw him: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

It is written in the Prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Euery man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, commeth vnto me,

Not that any man hath seene the Father; saue hee which is of God, hee hath seene the Father.

Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that beleeueth on me, hath euerlasting life.

I am that bread of life.

Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead.

This is the bread which commeth downe from heauen, that a man may eate thereof, and not die.

I am the liuing bread, which came downe from heauen. If any man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world.

The Iewes therefore stroue amongst themselues, saying, How can this man giue vs his flesh to eate?

Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall life, and I will raise him vp at the last day.

For my flesh is meate indeed, and my blood is drinke indeed.

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

As the liuing Father hath sent me, and I liue by the Father: so, he that eateth me, euen he shall liue by me.

This is that bread which came downe from heauen: not as your fathers did eate Manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread, shall liue for euer.

These things said hee in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
