In John 6, after the crowd recalls the manna in the wilderness (John 6:31), Jesus says that He is the bread of life (John 6:35) and that the bread He will give is His flesh (John 6:51). In John 6:53–58 He says that whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life, and John 6:33 speaks of the bread of God that comes down from heaven.

Matthew 26:26–28, Mark 14:22–25 and Luke 22:19–20 tell how Jesus, while eating with His disciples, took bread and the cup and said, “This is My body.” In 1 Corinthians 10:16–17, 11:26 and 11:28 Paul writes to the church in Corinth about the cup and the bread.

Luke 24:30 tells how Jesus broke bread with two disciples at Emmaus, and Acts 2:42 and 20:7 describe believers who gathered for the breaking of bread. The last group holds other verses: Jesus welcoming little children (Matthew 19:14), calling Himself the vine (John 15:5) and the light of the world (John 8:12), and Isaiah 53:5, about the one who was pierced for transgressions.

John 6:53–58

BSB

KJV

WEB

BSB

53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

KJV

53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

WEB

53Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves. 54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. 57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me. 58This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
