John 6:50-58
6:50 This
is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person
may eat from it and not die.

6:53 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.

6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”
