John 6:55-70

⁵⁵He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁵⁶For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁷He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁸As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.

⁵⁹This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.

⁶⁰These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.

⁶¹Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?

⁶²But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?

⁶³If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

⁶⁴It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.

⁶⁵But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.

⁶⁶And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.

⁶⁷After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.

⁶⁸Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?

⁶⁹And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁷⁰And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
