John
6:53-58 (NIV) Jesus said to them, "I tell you the
truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal
life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For
my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever 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 live because
of me. 58 This is the bread that came down
from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and
died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
