Truly, truly, I say to you,
1whoever believes has eternal life.

3Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and
4they died.
50
5This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it
6and not die.
51
I am the living bread
7that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give
8for the life of the world is
9my flesh. ”
52
The Jews then
10disputed among themselves, saying,
11“How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ”
53
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of
12the Son of Man and drink his blood, you
13have no life in you.
54
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood
14has eternal life, and
15I will raise him up on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood
16abides in me, and I in him.
57
As
17the living Father
18sent me, and
19I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.
