The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this [Man] give us [His] flesh to eat?"

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard [this,] said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?"

From that [time] many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."

And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them."

But when they saw [it,] they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner."

nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"I am the bread of life.

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

"This is the bread which came down from heaven -- not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."
