John 6:57-63

57Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me.

58This is the Bread which came down out of heaven. It is not like [the manna that] our fathers ate and they [eventually] died; the one who eats this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will live forever.”

59He said these things in a synagogue while He was teaching in Capernaum.

60When many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can [be expected to] listen to it?”

61But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense?

62What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?

63It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].
