Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 6
⁵³ So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.
⁵⁴ But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.
⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
⁵⁶ Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
⁵⁷ I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
⁵⁸ I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”
⁵⁹ He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
⁶⁰ Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”
⁶¹ Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?
⁶² Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?
⁶³ The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
