Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood already possesses eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood continues to live in union with me and I in union with him.

This is the bread that comes down out of heaven; not as your forefathers ate the manna, and yet died. Whoever continues to eat this bread will live forever." He said this as He taught in the synagogue at Capernaum. So many of His disciples, when they heard it, said, "This teaching is hard to take in. Who can listen to it?"
