53 "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

54 "He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

55 "For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

56 "He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him.

57 "Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me.

58 "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever."
