## John 6:48-53 in Context (Verses 45–56 KJV)
 
 [45 ](/kjv/john/6/45) It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/john/6/46) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
 
 [47 ](/kjv/john/6/47) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/john/6/48) I am that bread of life.
 
 [49 ](/kjv/john/6/49) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
 
 [50 ](/kjv/john/6/50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
 
 [51 ](/kjv/john/6/51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
 
 [52 ](/kjv/john/6/52) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us *his* flesh to eat?
 
 [53 ](/kjv/john/6/53) Then 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.
 
 [54 ](/kjv/john/6/54) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
 
 [55 ](/kjv/john/6/55) For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
 
 [56 ](/kjv/john/6/56) He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
 
[John 5](/kjv/john/5) [John 7](/kjv/john/7)
