猶太人彼此爭論說：「這人怎麼能把他的肉，賜給我們吃呢？」

耶穌向他們說：「我實實在在告訴你們：你們若不吃人子的肉，不喝他的血，在你們內，便沒有生命。誰吃我的肉，並喝我的血，必得永生；在末日，我且要叫他復活。

「因為我的肉，是真實的食糧；我的血，是真實的飲料。誰吃我的肉，並喝我的血，便住在我內，我也住在他內。就如那生活的父，派遣了我，我因父而生活；照樣，那吃我的人，也要因我而生活。

「這是從天上降下來的食糧。不像祖先吃了『瑪納』，仍然死了。誰吃這食糧，必要生活，直到永遠。」

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
