John 6:51-59

English Standard Version

⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(A)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(B)for the life of the world is ^(C)my flesh.”

⁵² The Jews then ^(D)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(E)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^(F)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(G)have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(H)has eternal life, and ^(I)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 ^(J)abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As ^(K)the living Father ^(L)sent me, and ^(M)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ^58 (N)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 ^(O)at Capernaum.
