56
He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57
As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, he shall also live by me.

63
The Spirit is he that gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken unto you,
they are Spirit and
they are life.
