John 6:57-63

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.

58This is the bread that came down from heaven. It is not like the manna that your ancestors ate. They ate it but they died. But the person who eats this bread will live for ever.’

59Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the Jewish meeting place at Capernaum.

60Many of Jesus' disciples did not like these words. They said, ‘This thing that he teaches is too difficult. Nobody can agree with it!’

61Jesus himself knew that the disciples did not like his message. He did not need anyone to tell him. He said to them, ‘This seems to make you angry.

62Think about this: The Son of Man will go up again to the place where he was before. And you will see him go up. Will you agree to that?

63It is the Spirit that gives you life. People cannot do that. The words that I have spoken to you come from the Spirit. They give you life.
