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.
60After they heard him say that, many of his disciples said, “What he is teaching is hard to understand; ◄it is very difficult for anyone to accept it!/how can anyone accept it?► RHQ”
61Jesus was aware that his disciples were grumbling about it, so he said to them, “◄I am sorry that this is offending you./Is this offending you?► RHQ
62◄ Perhaps you will believe my message if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending there to where I was before!/ (What will you think if you see me, the one who came from heaven, ascending there to where I was before)?► RHQ
63God's Spirit is the one who gives people eternal life. Human efforts are no help at all for giving people eternal life. The message I have spoken to you gives spiritual life (OR, comes from God's Spirit and gives eternal life.)
