John 6:47
45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
