John 6:52-58 GW The Jews began to quarrel with each other. They said, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" (53) Jesus told them, "I can guarantee this truth: If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have the source of life in you. (54) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will bring them back to life on the last day. (55) My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. (56) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them. (57) The Father who has life sent me, and I live because of the Father. So those who feed on me will live because of me. (58) This is the bread that came from heaven. It is not like the bread your ancestors ate. They eventually died. Those who eat this bread will live forever." [John 6:53-57 and 4:34 and Mat 4:4 and Rev:19:13]
John 6:52-58 GNB This started an angry argument among them. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" they asked. (53) Jesus said to them, "I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves. (54) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day. (55) For my flesh is the real food; my blood is the real drink. (56) Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them. (57) The living Father sent me, and because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me. (58) This, then, is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread that your ancestors ate, but then later died. Those who eat this bread will live forever." [John 6:53-57 and 4:34 and Mat 4:4 and Rev:19:13]
John 6:52-58 ALT Therefore, the Jews began disputing with one another, saying, "How is this One able to give to us His flesh to eat?" (53) So Jesus said to them, "Most positively, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Humanity and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. (54) "The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up {in} the last day. (55) "For My flesh truly is food, and My blood truly is drink. (56) "The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood remains in Me, and I in him. (57) "Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, also the one feeding on Me, that one will also live because of Me. (58) "This is the bread having come down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. The one eating this bread will live into the age [fig., forever]!" [John 6:53-57 and 4:34 and Mat 4:4 and Rev:19:13]
John 6:52-58 NWT 52 Therefore the Jews began contending with one another, saying: “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Accordingly Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, Unless YOU eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, YOU have no life in yourselves. 54 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I shall resurrect him at the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me forth and I live because of the Father, he also that feeds on me, even that one will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. It is not as when YOUR forefathers ate and yet died. He that feeds on this bread will live forever.” [John 6:53-57 and 4:34 and Mat 4:4 and Rev:19:13]
