So Jesus, raising his eyes and seeing that a great crowd was coming up to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy food for these people to eat?"

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me.
