The Bread of Life: Eating His Flesh

John 6:51-59

The Bread of Life: Eating His Flesh

51
I am that liuing breade, which came downe from heauen: if any man eate of this breade, hee shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world.
52
Then the Iewes stroue among themselues, saying, Howe can this man giue vs his flesh to eate?
53
Then Iesus saide vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you.
54
Whosoeuer eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall life, and I will raise him vp at the last day.
55
For my flesh is meat in deede, and my blood is drinke in deede.
56
Hee that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57
As that liuing Father hath sent me, so liue I by the Father, and he that eateth me, euen he shall liue by me.
58
This is that bread which came downe from heauen: not as your fathers haue eaten Manna, and are deade. Hee that eateth of this bread, shall liue for euer.
59
These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
