First Nations Version

John 6:35, 41-51
Creator Sets Free (Jesus) smiled, held out his arms to them, and said, “I am the bread of life that came down from the spirit-world above. The ones who come to me will hunger no more. The ones who trust me will thirst no more.” …
Upon hearing this, the Tribal Members complained, “Who is this ‘Bread from the spirit-world above’? Is this not the son of He Gives Sons (Joseph)? We know who his mother and father are. How can he say ‘I came down from the spirit-world above’?”
“Stop grumbling to each other,” he answered. “The only ones who come to me have been drawn by my Father. These are the ones I will bring back life at the end of all days. The Sacred Teachings from the prophets of ols tell us, ‘There will come a time when the Great Spirit will instruct everyone.’ That is why the ones who hear and listen to the Father come to me.
“The only one who has seen the Father is the one sent from the Great Spirit. This one has clearly seen the Father. I speak truth from my heart, the ones who trust from my heart, the ones who trust in me have the life of the world to come that never fades away, full of beauty and harmony.
“I am the bread that gives this life. Your ancestors ate bread in the desert wilderness, and they died. Here standing before you, is the bread that comes down from above. The ones who way this bread will not die. I am the living bread from above. The ones who eat this bread will live beyond the end of all days. And this is the bread that I will give as a gift to the world — my human body.”
