'Flesh' in the Bible

And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world."

This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"

"In most solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day.

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

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.

It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
