John 6:55-60

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

⁵⁶Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to them.

⁵⁷As the living Father sent me as his messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so the person who takes me for their food will live because I live.

⁵⁸That is the bread which has come down from heaven — not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; the person who takes this bread for their food will live for ever.”

⁵⁹All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?”
