"My flesh is real food, and my blood is real drink"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (6, 52-59)
At that time, the Jews quarreled among themselves: "How can this one give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus then said to them: "Amen, amen, I say to you: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man, and if you do not drink his blood, you do not have the life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Indeed, my flesh is the real food, and my blood is the real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father, so he that eats me, he also will live through me. This is the bread which came down from heaven; it is not like that which the fathers ate. They are dead; whoever eats this bread will live forever. "
This is what Jesus said while teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum.
The Gospel of the Lord.
