John 6:48–58

⁴⁸I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. ⁵⁰This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵²The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat? ⁵³Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day: ⁵⁵for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him. ⁵⁷As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, he also who eats me shall live also on account of me. ⁵⁸This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.
