Author: Ken Hagen May 27, 2026 Duration: 1:36

44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum; et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

 45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.
Est scriptum in prophetis : Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei. Omnis qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me.

 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is, qui est a Deo, hic vidit Patrem.

 47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
Amen, amen dico vobis : qui credit in me, habet vitam aeternam.

 48 I am the bread of life.
Ego sum panis vitae.

 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.

 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
Hic est panis de caelo descendens : ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur.

 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi.

 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.
Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum : et panis quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.

[44] "Draw him": Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace.
