John 6:52-63

⁵²Therefore the Jews were contending with one another, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

⁵³Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

⁵⁴Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁵⁵For My flesh truly is food, and My blood truly is drink.

⁵⁶He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

⁵⁷Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

⁵⁸This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

⁵⁹These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can hear it?”

⁶¹And Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?

⁶²What then if you should see the Son of Man ascending where He was before?

⁶³It is the Spirit who makes alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
