53 So Jesus told them,"Truly, truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day.

55 For my flesh is realfood, and my blood is realdrink.

56 The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind that your ancestors ate. They died, but the one who eats this bread will live forever."
