John 6:47-58

47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes ¹has eternal life.

48 "²I am the bread of life.

49 "³Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

50 "This is the bread which ⁴comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and ⁵not die.

51 "⁶I am the living bread that ⁷came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, ⁸he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give ⁹for the life of the world is ¹⁰My flesh."

52 ¹¹Then the Jews ¹²began to argue with one another, saying, "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 ¹³the 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 ¹⁴raise 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 ¹⁵abides in Me, and I in him.

57 "As the ¹⁶living Father ¹⁷sent 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 ¹⁸came down out of heaven; not as ¹⁹the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread ²⁰will live forever."
