John 6:53 in Context — John 6

51 Je suis le pain vivant qui est descendu du ciel.Si quelqu’un mange de ce pain, il vivra éternellement;et le pain que je donnerai, c’est ma chair, que je donnerai pour la vie du monde.

52 Là-dessus, les Juifs disputaient entre eux, disant: Comment peut-il nous donner sa chair à manger?

53 Jésus leur dit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, si vous ne mangez la chair du Fils de l’homme, et si vous ne buvez son sang, vous n’avez point la vie en vous-mêmes.

54 Celui qui mange ma chair et qui boit mon sang a la vie éternelle; et je le ressusciterai au dernier jour.

55 Car ma chair est vraiment une nourriture, et mon sang est vraiment un breuvage.
