52. The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53. Jesus told them, “I can guarantee this truth: If you don’t eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have the source of life in you.
54. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day.
55. My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.
57. The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me.
58. This is the bread that came from heaven. It is not like the bread your ancestors ate. They eventually died. Those who eat this bread will live forever.”
