John 6; 51-58adapted fromJames Quinn  

From: Douay Rheims Bible 1899

Joh 6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven. (6:52) If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

Joh 6:52  (6:53) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Joh 6:53  (6:54) Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

Joh 6:54  (6:55) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Joh 6:55  (6:56) For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

Joh 6:56  (6:57) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him.

Joh 6:57  (6:58) As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.

Joh 6:58  (6:59) This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever.
