John 6:48–58

⁴⁸“^aI am the bread of life.

⁴⁹“^aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵⁰“This is the bread which ^acomes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and ^bnot die.

⁵¹“^aI am the living bread that ^bcame down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, ^che will live forever; and also the bread which I will give ^dfor the life of the world is ^eMy flesh.”

^52aThen the Jews ^bbegan to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

⁵³So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^athe Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

⁵⁴“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will ^araise him up on the last day.

⁵⁵“For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

⁵⁶“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood ^aabides in Me, and I in him.

⁵⁷“As the ^aliving Father ^bsent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

⁵⁸“This is the bread which ^acame down out of heaven, not as ^bthe fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread ^cwill live forever.”
