6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
6:52	If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
6:53	Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	And so, Jesus said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
6:55	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:56	For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:57	Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
6:58	Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.
