John 6:48-58

English Standard Version

⁴⁸^(A)I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹^(B)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^(C)they died. ⁵⁰^(D)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^(E)and not die. ⁵¹I am the living bread ^(F)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(G)for the life of the world is ^(H)my flesh.”

⁵²The Jews then ^(I)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(J)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ⁵³So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^(K)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(L)have no life in you. ⁵⁴Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(M)has eternal life, and ^(N)I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(O)abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷As ^(P)the living Father ^(Q)sent me, and ^(R)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ⁵⁸^(S)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread^[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
