45 »It is written in the prophets: Jehovah shall teach them all. Every one who hears the Father and has learned comes to me. (Jeremiah 31:34)
46 »No one has seen the Father. Only he who is from God, He has seen the Father.
47 »Truly, truly I tell you, he who believes has everlasting life.
48 »I am the bread of life.
49 »Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
50 »This is the bread that comes down out of heaven that a man may eat of it and not die.
51 »I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread he will live forever. Yes and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.«
52 The Jews argued with one another saying: »How can this man give us his flesh to eat?«
53 Jesus responded to them: »Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves.
54 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life! I will raise him up at the last day.
55 »For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him.
57 »The living Father sent me and I live because of the Father. He who takes me for his food will live because of me.
58 »This is the bread that came down out of heaven. It is not like the bread (manna) the fathers ate and then died. He who eats this bread will live forever.«
59 He said these things in the synagogue when he taught in Capernaum.
60 When they heard this many of his disciples said: »This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?«
61 He knew his disciples complained about this. Jesus said: »Does this cause you to stumble?
62 »What if you see the Son of man ascending where he was before?
63 »It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life.
64 »There are some of you who do not believe.« Jesus knew from the beginning whom they were who did not believe and who would betray him.
65 He stated: »For this reason listen to what I say. No man can come to me, except it be given to him from the Father.«
66 After this many of his disciples returned to their old ways. They did not walk with him anymore.
67 Jesus asked the twelve: »Will you also go away?«
68 Simon Peter answered him: »Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life!
69 »We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.«
