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.
58I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate manna, they later died anyway. But those who eat this bread will live forever.”
59He said this while he was teaching people in ◄the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place► in Capernaum.
