John 6:48-63

48I am the bread of life.

49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

51I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

52The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

53Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

59These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

60Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”

61When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?

62What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?

63It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
