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.”
