53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (A)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you (B)have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (C)has eternal life, and (D)I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (E)abides in me, and I in him. 57 As (F)the living Father (G)sent me, and (H)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 (I)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (J)at Capernaum.

The Words of Eternal Life

(R)The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh(A) of the Son of Man(B) and drink his blood,(C) you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.(D) 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.(E) 57 Just as the living Father sent me(F) and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”(G) 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Many Disciples Desert Jesus

60 On hearing it, many of his disciples(H) said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”(I)

61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?(J) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man(K) ascend to where he was before!(L) 63 The Spirit gives life;(M) the flesh counts for nothing.
