John 6:48-66

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁸ I am [the] bread of life. [I am the bread of life.]

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate manna in desert, and be dead.

⁵⁰ This is bread coming down from heaven, that if any man [shall] eat thereof, he die not.

⁵¹ I am living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live without end. And the bread that I shall give, is my flesh for the life of the world.

⁵² Therefore the Jews chided together, and said [saying], How may this give to us his flesh to eat?

⁵³ Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, but ye eat the flesh of man's Son, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.

⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life, and I shall again-raise him in the last day.

⁵⁵ For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ As my Father living sent me, and I live for the Father, and he that eateth me, he shall live for me.

⁵⁸ This is bread, that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna, and be dead; he that eateth this bread, shall live without end.

⁵⁹ He said these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

⁶⁰ Therefore many of his disciples hearing [this], said, This word is hard, who may hear it?

⁶¹ But Jesus witting at himself, that his disciples grumbled of this thing [Forsooth Jesus witting with himself, for his disciples grutched of this thing], said to them, This thing offendeth you?

⁶² Therefore if ye [shall] see man's Son ascending [up], where he was before?

⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life.

⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man may come to me, but it were given to him of my Father.

⁶⁶ From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.
