Uthenga Wopatulika Malinga ndi Yohane 6: 52-59

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	Choncho, the Jews debated among themselves, kunena, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:54	Ndipo kenako, Yesu adati kwa iwo: “Amene, amene, Ine ndinena kwa inu, 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, ndipo ine mwa iye.
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.
6:59	This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”
