John 6:44-54

44For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.

45As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

46(Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)

47“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.

48Yes, I am the bread of life!

49Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.

50Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die.

51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”

52Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.

53So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.

54But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.
