48 (A)I am the bread of life. 49 (B)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 (C)This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread (D)which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and (E)the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless (G)you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 (H)Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is [a]food indeed, and My blood is [b]drink indeed.
