John 6:51–58

⁵¹‘I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.’ ⁵²The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, ‘How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?’ ⁵³Jesus, therefore, said to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; ⁵⁴he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; ⁵⁵for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; ⁵⁶he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷‘According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.’
