⁵³Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ⁵⁴And so, 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 will not have life in you. ⁵⁵Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁶For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

²⁶Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. This is my body.” ²⁷And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from this, all of you. ²⁸For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.

¹⁹And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you.

²²And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.” ²³And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it. ²⁴And he said to them: “This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many.

²⁶Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. This is my body.”

²²And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.”

²⁴and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: “Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you.

¹⁹And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”

⁵¹I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.

²³For I have received from the Lord what I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the same night that he was handed over, took bread, ²⁴and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: “Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁵Similarly also, the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he returns.

⁵⁴And so, 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 will not have life in you.
