Giovanni 6:54

54 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha vita eterna; e io lo risusciterò nell’ultimo giorno.

Giovanni 6:54 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:54

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood
Spiritually by faith, as explained in the preceding verse:

hath eternal life;
the principle of spiritual life, which is evidently implanted in him, as appears from his eating and drinking; and is a durable and lasting principle: grace is an incorruptible seed; every part of it is abiding and permanent; and it is itself the beginning, pledge, and earnest of everlasting life, and is inseparably connected with it: moreover, such have eternal life itself, not only in Christ their head, but in themselves: they have a right unto it, and a meetness for it: and may be assured of it, as if they were personally possessed of it, from their election to it; the security of it in Christ; from the grace they have received, which is the beginning of glory; and the earnest of it in themselves:

and I will raise him up at the last day;
to enjoy it in soul and body; (See Gill on John 6:39), (See Gill on John 6:40).

Giovanni 6:54 In-Context

52 I Giudei dunque disputavano fra di loro, dicendo: Come mai può costui darci a mangiare la sua carne?

53 Perciò Gesù disse loro: In verità, in verità io vi dico che se non mangiate la carne del Figliuol dell’uomo e non bevete il suo sangue, non avete la vita in voi.

54 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha vita eterna; e io lo risusciterò nell’ultimo giorno.

55 Perché la mia carne è vero cibo e il mio sangue è vera bevanda.

56 Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue dimora in me, e io in lui.
