John 6:53-66

Lamsa(i) 53 Jesus said to them. Truly, truly I say to you, Unless you eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves, 54 He who eats of my body, and drinks of my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him at the last day. 55 For my body truly is the food, and my blood truly is the drink. 56 He who eats my body and drinks my blood, will abide with me, and I with him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I am living because of the Father, so whoever eats me, will also live because of me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; it is not like that manna which your forefathers ate and died; he who eats of this bread shall live forever. 59 These things he said in the synagogue, while he was teaching at Capernaum. 60 Many of his disciples who heard it said, This is a hard saying; who can listen to it? 61 Jesus knew in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this; so he said to them, Does this cause you to stumble? 62 What then if you should see the Son of man ascending to the place where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that gives life; the body is of no account; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew for a long while who were those who did not believe, and who was to betray him. 65 And he said to them, For this reason I have told you that no man can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father. 66 Just because of this saying, a great many of his disciples turned away, and did not walk with him.
