Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:55 - “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:56 - “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:57 - “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
