John 6:52-58

52Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

54The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

56The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.

57Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

58This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”
