John 2:17

2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal ¹  for your house will devour me.” ² 

John 6:57

6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes ³  me will live because of me.

¹ tn Or “Fervent devotion to your house.”

² sn A quotation from Ps 69:9.

³ tn Or “who chews”; Grk “who eats.” Here the translation “consumes” is more appropriate than simply “eats,” because it is the internalization of Jesus by the individual that is in view. On the alternation between ἐσθίω (esqiw, “eat,” v. 53) and τρώγω (trwgw, “eats,” vv. 54, 56, 58; “consumes,” v. 57) see the note on “eats” in v. 54.
