54. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. I will raise him up on the last day.
55. My flesh is true food. My blood is true drink.
56. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in him.
57. The Father sent me. The Father lives, and I live because of the Father. So he who eats me will live because of me.
58. I am not like the bread our ancestors ate. They ate that bread, but still they died. I am the bread that came down from heaven. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
59. Jesus said all these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
