John 6:51-58

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

⁵² If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

⁵³ The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁵⁴ Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

⁵⁵ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁵⁶ For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

⁵⁷ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

⁵⁸ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
