John 6:51-63
511I am the living bread that 2came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, 3he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give 4for the life of the world is 5My flesh.”
526Then the Jews 7began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of 8the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will 9raise him up on the last day. 55For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood 10abides in Me, and I in him. 57As the 11living Father 12sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58This is the bread which 13came down out of heaven; not as 14the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread 15will live forever.” 59These things He said 16in the synagogue as He taught 17in Capernaum.
60Therefore many of His 18disciples, when they heard this said, “19This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” 61But Jesus, 20conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this 21cause you to stumble? 62What then if you see 22the Son of Man 23ascending to where He was before? 6324It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; 25the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
