John 6:55
53 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.
54 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.
56 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
