John 6:55–63
55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.↗
56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.↗
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.↗
58This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”↗
59He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.↗
60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”↗
61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them,“Does this cause you to stumble?↗
62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?↗
63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.↗
