Second Reading Ephesians 4:30—5:2
30And do not be willing to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed, unto the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice.
32And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.
5:1Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God.
2And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness.

Gospel John 6:41-51
41Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: “I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.”
42And they said: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Then how can he say: ‘For I descended from heaven?’”
43And so Jesus responded and said to them: “Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.
44No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
45It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
46Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
47Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
50This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
51I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
52If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
