John 6:32-65
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from Heaven;
but my Father giveth you the true Bread from Heaven.
33 For the Bread of God is He which cometh down from
Heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I Am the Bread of
Life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I
said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and
believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall
come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.
38 For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of Him that sent me.
39 And this is
the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all
which He hath given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this
is the will of Him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the
last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said,
I am the bread which came down from Heaven.

42 And they
said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? how is it then that he
saith, I came down from Heaven?
43 Jesus therefore
answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father
which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up
at the last day.
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 Not
that any man hath seen the Father, save He which is
of God, He hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and
are dead.
50 This is the Bread which cometh down from
Heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
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 The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
this man give us His flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them
[concerning the The Body of Christ Communion,]
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 Whoso
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For
my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
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. [This is the Truth they sought to keep hidden.

Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when
they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying;
who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that his
disciples murmured at it, He said unto them,
Doth
this offend you? [They did not understand the
Spiritual aspect of The Body of Christ Communion.]
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where He was before?

life. [See? The Body of Christ Bible study is

how many baskets ye took up?
