6:41

At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

6:42

They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

6:43

"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.

6:44

"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:45

It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

6:46

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

6:47

I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.

6:48

I am the bread of life.

6:49

Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.

6:50

But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.

6:51

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

1:21

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

22:1

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

22:2

"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

22:3

He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

22:4

"Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.'

22:5

"But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.

22:6

The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.

22:7

The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

22:8

"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.

22:9

Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.'

22:10

So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

22:11

"But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

22:12

'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless.

22:13

"Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

22:14

"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

16:8

When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

16:9

in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

16:10

in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;

16:11

and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

19:8

Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)

15:6

Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

64:6

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;

3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

16:14

One of those listening was a woman named Lydia , a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira , who was a worshiper of God.  The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message.
