53 Jesus responded to them: »Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves.
54 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life! I will raise him up at the last day.
55 »For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him.
57 »The living Father sent me and I live because of the Father. He who takes me for his food will live because of me.
58 »This is the bread that came down out of heaven. It is not like the bread manna the fathers ate and then died. He who eats this bread will live forever.«
