John 6:51-56

51 "¹I am the living bread that ²came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, ³he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give ⁴for the life of the world is ⁵My flesh."

52 ⁶Then the Jews ⁷began 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 ⁸the 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 ⁹raise 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 ¹⁰abides in Me, and I in him.
