John 6:49-63

⁴⁹Your fathers ate manna in (the) desert, and be dead.

⁵⁰This is (the) bread coming down from heaven, that if any man eat thereof, he die not, (or so that if anyone eat of it, they shall not die).

⁵¹I am (the) living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live (into) without end. And the bread that I shall give, is my flesh for the life of the world.

⁵²Therefore the Jews chided together, and said, How may this give to us his flesh to eat?

⁵³Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), no but ye eat the flesh of man’s Son, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.

⁵⁴He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life, and I shall again-raise him in the last day. (He who eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the Last Day.)

⁵⁵For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink. (For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.)

⁵⁶He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷As my Father living sent me, and I live for the Father, and he that eateth me, he shall live for me. (For the living Father sent me, and I live for the Father, and he who eateth me, shall live because of me.)

⁵⁸This is (the) bread, that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna, and be dead; he that eateth this bread, shall live (into) without end.

⁵⁹He said these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples hearing this, said, This word is hard, who may hear it? (And many of his disciples who heard this, said, This word is hard, who can bear to hear such words? or who can listen to such words?)

⁶¹But Jesus witting at or within himself, that his disciples grudged of this thing, said to them, This thing offendeth you? (And Jesus knowing within himself, that his disciples grumbled about this, said to them, This offendeth you?)

⁶²Therefore if ye see man’s Son ascending up, where he was before? (And so what if ye see man’s Son ascending up, to the place where he was before?)

⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life. (It is the Spirit that giveth life, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be of the Spirit and of life.)
