Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, but ye eat the flesh of man's Son, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.
54
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life, and I shall again-raise him in the last day.
55
For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink.
56
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57
As my Father living sent me, and I live for the Father, and he that eateth me, he shall live for me.
58
This is bread, that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna, and be dead; he that eateth this bread, shall live without end.

60

61
But Jesus witting at himself, that his disciples grumbled of this thing [Forsooth Jesus witting with himself, for his disciples grutched of this thing], said to them, This thing offendeth you?
62
Therefore if ye [shall] see man's Son ascending [up], where he was before?
63
It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life.
