John 6:50-62

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

⁵¹I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats some of this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

⁵²The Jews became angry among themselves and began to argue, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

⁵³Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.

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

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

⁵⁶He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷As the living Father sent me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats me, he will also live because of me.

⁵⁸This is the bread that has come down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

⁵⁹But Jesus said these things in the synagogue while he was teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Then many of his disciples who heard this said, “This is a difficult teaching; who can accept it?”

⁶¹Jesus, because he knew in himself that his disciples were grumbling at this, said to them, “Does this offend you?

⁶²Then what if you should see the Son of Man going up to where he was before?
