John 6:55
Douay-Rheims
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
Bede the Venerable
He had said above, Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life: and now to shew the great difference between bodily meat and drink, and the spiritual mystery of His body and blood, He adds, For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
