Howe is it then that he sayth, I came downe from heauen? 43 Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto them: Murmure not among your selues. 44 No man can come to me, except the father, whiche hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophetes: And they shalbe all taught of God. Euery man therfore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh vnto me. 46 Not that any man hath seene the father, saue he which is of God, the same hath seene the father. 47 Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, he that putteth his trust in me, hath euerlasting lyfe. 48 I am that bread of lyfe. 49 Your fathers dyd eate Manna in the wyldernesse, and are dead. 50 This is that bread, which commeth downe from heauen, that yf any man eate therof, he shoulde not dye. 51 I am that lyuyng bread, which came downe from heauen. Yf any man eate of this bread, he shall lyue for euer. And the bread that I wyl geue, is my fleshe, whiche I wyll geue for the lyfe of the worlde. 52 The Iewes therefore stroue among them selues, saying: Howe can this felowe geue vs that fleshe of his to eate? 53 Then Iesus saide vnto them: Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, excepte ye eate the fleshe of the sonne of man, and drynke his blood, ye haue no lyfe in you. 54 Who so eateth my fleshe, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall lyfe, and I wyl rayse hym vp at the last day. 55 For my fleshe is meate in deede, and my blood is drynke in deede. 56 He that eateth my fleshe, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, & I in hym. 57 As the lyuing father hath sent me, and I lyue by the father: Euen so, he that eateth me, shal liue by the meanes of me. 58 This is that bread, which came downe from heauen: Not as your fathers dyd eate Manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall lyue euer. 59 These thynges sayde he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
