John 6:53-66 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity. ⁵⁹ These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it? ⁶¹ Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you? ⁶² What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly? ⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father. ⁶⁶ From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.
