John 6:51-57

51I am the bread that gives life to people. This bread came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. The bread that I will give is my own body. I will give it so that all people in the world may have life with God.’

52Then the Jewish leaders became angry and they argued with each other even more. They said, ‘This man cannot give his body to us so that we can eat it!’

53Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you this: You must eat the body of the Son of Man and you must drink his blood. Unless you do those things, you do not have true life.

54Every person needs to eat my body and they need to drink my blood. If they do those things, they have life for ever with God. I will raise them up on the last day.

55My body is the true food and my blood is the true drink.

56Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood lives in me. And I live in them.

57The Father, who has life, sent me. I live because of him. In the same way, anyone who takes me as their food will live because of me.
