49
Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead.
50
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. (6-52) If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
52
(6-53) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53
(6-54) Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
54
(6-55) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
55
(6-56) For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
56
(6-57) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him.
57
(6-58) As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
58
(6-59) This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever.
