John 6:52-64

⁵²Therefore the Jews argued among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

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

⁵⁴Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person up at the last day,

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

⁵⁶One who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in that person.

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

⁵⁸This is the bread which came down from Heaven, not like the manna your forefathers ate, and died. A person who eats this bread will live forever.”

⁵⁹He said this while teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

⁶⁰Therefore when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can stand to hear it?”

⁶¹Jesus, aware that his disciples were complaining about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?

⁶²What if you saw the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

⁶³The Spirit gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and life.

⁶⁴Yet there are some of you who don’t believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe, and who would betray Him.
