who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

The Jews therefore argued with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "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.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
