John 6:49-56

⁴⁹your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹'I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live — to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵²The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, 'How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

⁵³Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.
