JOHN 6:52-62

⁵²The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵³Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.

⁵⁴He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

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

⁵⁷As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me.

⁵⁸This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

⁵⁹These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

⁶¹But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?

⁶²What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
