WPNT(i)
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who listens and learns from the Father comes to me.
46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God—He has seen the Father.)
47 Most assuredly I say to you: the one believing into me has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of the life.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
50 This is the bread that comes down out of Heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. Actually, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give on behalf of the life of the world.”
52 At that the Jews started quarrelling among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?!”
53 So 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 do not have life within yourselves.
54 Whoever chews my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 Really, my flesh is genuine food and my blood is genuine drink.
56 Whoever chews 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 also the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down out of Heaven. Whoever feeds on this bread of mine will live forever (in contrast to your fathers who ate the manna and died).”
59 He said these things while teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum.
60 Therefore, upon hearing this many from among His disciples said, “This word is hard! Who is able to hear it?”
61 So Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Does this offend you?
62 What if you should see the Son of Man going up to where He was at first?
63 The Spirit is the One who makes alive; the flesh does not benefit anything. The words that I speak to you are spirit, are life.
64 But there are some among you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the start who they were who didn’t believe, and who was betraying Him.)
65 And He said, “That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by my Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples turned back and stopped going around with Him.
67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?”
68 So Simon Peter answered Him: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 Further, we have come to believe and to know that you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!”
