This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Dies ist das Brot, das vom Himmel gekommen ist; nicht, wie eure Väter haben Manna gegessen und sind gestorben: wer dies Brot isset, der wird leben in Ewigkeit.
Este es el pan que descendió del cielo: no como vuestros padres comieron el maná, y son muertos: el que come de este pan, vivirá eternamente.
C'est ici le pain qui est descendu du ciel. Il n'en est pas comme de vos pères qui ont mangé la manne et qui sont morts: celui qui mange ce pain vivra éternellement.
Quest’è il pane ch’è disceso dal cielo; non quale era la manna che i vostri padri mangiarono, e morirono; chi mangia questo pane viverà in eterno.
Este é o pão que desceu do céu; não é o caso de vossos pais, que comeram o maná e morreram; quem comer este pão viverá para sempre.
這是從天上降下來的糧,不像你們的祖宗吃過嗎哪還是死了;吃這糧的人將永遠活著。」
