John 6:51-67

⁵¹I am living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live 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, 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.

⁵⁵For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very 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.

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

⁵⁹He said these things in the syna-gogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore many of his disciples hearing this, said, This word is hard, who may hear it?

⁶¹But Jesus witting at or within himself, that his disciples grutched of this thing, said to them, This thing offendeth you?

⁶²Therefore if ye see man’s Son ascending or going up, 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.

⁶⁴But there be some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, which were believing, and who was to betray him.

⁶⁵And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man may come to me, but it were given to him of my Father.

⁶⁶From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.

⁶⁷Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Whether ye will also go away?
