John 6:53-63

CAB(i) 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day. 55 For My flesh truly is food, and My blood truly is drink. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died. He that eats this bread shall live forever." 59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?" 61 And Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascending where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who makes alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
