53 »In most solemn truth I tell you,« 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 eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, 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 eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.

57 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
