John 6:48-58

Moffatt(i) 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died; 50 the bread that comes down from heaven is such that one eats of it and never dies. 51 I am the living bread which has come down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and more, the bread I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world." 52 The Jews then wrangled with one another, saying, "How can he give us his flesh to eat?" 53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you. 54 He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood possesses eternal life (and I will raise him up on the last day), 55 for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains within me, as I remain within him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live by the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live by me. 58 Such is the bread which has come down from heaven: your ancestors ate their bread and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live for ever."
