John 6:48-58
I am the bread of life.Long ago your people ate the manna in the desert, and they still died.But here is the bread that comes down from heaven. A person can eat it and not die.I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Everyone who eats some of this bread will live forever. This bread is my body. I will give it for the life of the world.”Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves. They said,“ How can this man give us his body to eat?”Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You must eat the Son of Man’s body and drink his blood. If you don’t, you have no life in you.Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life. I will raise them up on the last day.My body is real food. My blood is real drink.Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me. And I remain in them.The living Father sent me, and I live because of him. In the same way, those who feed on me will live because of me.This is the bread that came down from heaven. Long ago your people ate manna and died. But whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
