Master!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven. ²² On 'That Day' many will say to me 'Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?' ²³ And then I shall say to them plainly 'I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.'

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!
