43. Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;
44. no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;
45. it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;
46. not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.
47. `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;
48. I am the bread of the life;
49. your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;
50. this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.
51. `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live--to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'
52. The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'
53. Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;
54. he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;
55. for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
56. he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.
57. `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;
58. this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live--to the age.'
59. These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
60. many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'
