## John 6:55-57 in Context (Verses 52–60 KJV)
 
 [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.
 
 [57 ](/kjv/john/6/57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
 
 [58 ](/kjv/john/6/58) This 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.
 
 [59 ](/kjv/john/6/59) These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
 
 [60 ](/kjv/john/6/60) Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard *this*, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
