⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”^(A)

⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.^{(A) 54} Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day,^{(B) 55} for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
