When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Fatherís house into a marketplace!”

Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

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

For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
