Eucharist

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

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

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.
