John 6:56

John 6:56

54 ^aWhoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is² drink indeed.

56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood ^aabides in Me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58 ^aThis is the bread which came down from heaven—not ^bas your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

Many Disciples Turn Away

60 ^aTherefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a¹ hard saying; who can understand it?”

Abideth in me and I in him (en emoi menei kagw en autw). Added to the phrase in John 6:54 in the place of exei zwhn aiwnion (has eternal life). The verb menw (to abide) expresses continual mystical fellowship between Christ and the believer as in John 15:4-7; I John 2:6, I John 2:27-28; I John 3:6, I John 3:24; I John 4:12, I John 4:16. There is, of course, no reference to the Lord's Supper (Eucharist), but simply to mystical fellowship with Christ.
