إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا .47-41:6
أَخَذَ اليَهُودُ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلى يَسُوع، لأَنَّهُ قَال: أَنَا هُوَ الْخُبْزُ الَّذي نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاء
وكَانُوا يَقُولُون: أَلَيْسَ هذَا يَسُوعَ بْنَ يُوسُف، ونَحْنُ نَعْرِفُ أَبَاهُ وأُمَّهُ؟ فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ الآن: إِنِّي نَزَلْتُ مِنَ السَّمَاء؟
أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ لَهُم: لا تَتَذَمَّرُوا في ما بَيْنَكُم
لا أَحَدَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِليَّ، مَا لَمْ يَجْتَذِبْهُ الآبُ الَّذي أَرْسَلَنِي، وأَنَا أُقِيمُهُ في اليَومِ الأَخِير
جَاءَ في كُتُبِ الأَنْبِيَاء: ويَكُونُونَ جَمِيعُهُم مُتَعَلِّمِينَ مِنَ الله. كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنَ الآبِ وتَعَلَّم، يَأْتِي إِليَّ
مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ رَأَى الآبَ إِلاَّ الَّذي هُوَ مِنْ لَدُنِ الله. فَهذَا قَدْ رَأَى الآب
أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: أَلمُؤْمِنُ يَنَالُ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّة
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6:44-51.
Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.
It is written in the prophets: ‘They shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
