John 6:52-57

⁵²Then the Jewish leaders SYN began to argue among themselves. They said, “◄There is no way this man can give us his flesh to eat!/How can this man give us his flesh to eat?►” RHQ

⁵³So, speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins MET, Jesus said to them, “Listen carefully to this: Although I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.

⁵⁴Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at ◄the last day/the judgment day►,

⁵⁵because my flesh and my blood are truly spiritual food.

⁵⁶Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood will have a close relationship with me, and I will have a close relationship with them.

⁵⁷My Father, who is the source of everything that lives, sent me, and I live because my Father has given me life. Similarly those who eat my flesh will live eternally because of what I do for them.
