⁴¹ Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

³³ The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵² Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

¹⁶ These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

¹² And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

⁶⁶ Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

⁶⁰ Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴³ Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

⁷ And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

² And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

³⁰ And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?

¹⁰ And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
