Malachi 1:7
1:7 You are offering improper sacrifices on my altar, yet you ask, ‘How have we offended you?’ By treating the table
of the
Lord as if it is of no importance!
Malachi 1:12-14
1:12 “But you are profaning it by saying that the table of the Lord is common and its offerings
despicable.
1:13 You also say, ‘How tiresome it is.’ You turn up your nose at it,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “and instead bring what is stolen, lame, or sick. You bring these things for an offering! Should I accept this from you?”
asks the
Lord.

John 6:52-58
6:52 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
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.
6:54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.
6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.
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.”
