57As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.
58This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.
59Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.
60Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?
61When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?
62What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?
63The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.
