⁶ Jesus answered: "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.

⁸ For it is by God's loving-kindness that you have been saved, through your faith. It is not due to yourselves; the gift is God's. ⁹ It is not due to obedience to Law, lest any one should boast. ¹⁰ For we are God's handiwork, created, by our union with Christ Jesus, for the good actions in doing which God had pre-arranged that we should spend our lives.

⁵⁰ The Bread that comes down from Heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die. ⁵¹ I am the Living Bread that has come down from Heaven. If any one eats of this Bread, he will live for ever; and the Bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world." ⁵² Upon this the Jews began disputing with one another: "How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?" ⁵³ "In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not Life within you. ⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, has Immortal Life; and I will raise him up at the Last Day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink. ⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to him. ⁵⁷ As the Living Father sent me as his Messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so he who takes me for his food shall live because I live. ⁵⁸ That is the Bread which has come down from Heaven--not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live for ever." ⁵⁹ All this Jesus said in a Synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ On hearing it, many of his disciples said: "This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?" ⁶¹ But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them: ⁶² "Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? ⁶³ It is the Spirit that gives Life; mere flesh is of no avail. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is Life. ⁶⁴ Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me." For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him; ⁶⁵ And he added: "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father." ⁶⁶ After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the Twelve: "Do you also wish to leave me?" ⁶⁸ But Simon Peter answered: "Master, to whom shall we go? Immortal Life is in your teaching; ⁶⁹ And we have learned to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God." ⁷⁰ "Did not I myself choose you to be the Twelve?" replied Jesus; "and yet, even of you, one is playing the 'Devil's' part." ⁷¹ He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
