I am the bread of life.

So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time!”

Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

Philip replied, “Two hundred silver coins worth of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to get a little.”

But some boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

“Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?”

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten.

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

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”

Jesus replied, “I tell you the solemn truth, you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.

“What I am saying does not refer to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture, ‘The one who eats my bread has turned against me.’
