John 6:53-63

53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless * you eat the flesh of ¹the 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 ²raise 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 ³abides in Me, and I in him.

57 "As the ⁴living Father ⁵sent 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 ⁶came down out of heaven; not as ⁷the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread ⁸will live forever."

Words to the Disciples

59 These things He said ⁹in the synagogue as He taught ¹⁰in Capernaum.

60 Therefore many of His ¹¹disciples, when they heard this said, "¹²This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

61 But Jesus, ¹³conscious * * that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this ¹⁴cause you to stumble?

62 "What then if you see ¹⁵the Son of Man ¹⁶ascending to where He was before?

63 "¹⁷It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; ¹⁸the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
