John 6:52-59
Chapter 6
52
The Jews were arguing among themselves:
“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
The Flesh and Blood of Jesus, Food and Drink of Salvation
53
Jesus said to them:
“Truly, I say to you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me and I in them.
57
Just as the Father, who is life, sent me and I have life from the Father, so whoever feeds on me will have life from me.
58
This is the bread from heaven; not like that of your ancestors who ate and later died.
Those who eat this bread will live forever.”
59
He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
