49
Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52
The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?
53
Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54
Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
