⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

²⁶ And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

²⁸ Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

²⁹ But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

¹⁹ And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁰ And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

²¹ But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

⁵⁵ My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

⁵⁹ Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum.

³⁰ And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

⁷ And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

²⁴ And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁵ In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

²⁶ For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

²⁷ If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

²⁹ For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

²⁶ For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

²² And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

²⁶ And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

³⁰ For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
