15 Behold, for God has said, When man has purified himself I will exalt him to the throne of power.
16 Then Jesus and the twelve went to Capernaum; and Jesus went into the synagogue and taught.
17 And when the Jews, who heard him in Gennesaret, were come they said,
18 This fellow is beside himself. We heard him say, I am the bread of life that comes from heaven; and we all know that he is but a man, the son of man, who came from Nazareth; we know his mother, and his other kin.
19 And Jesus knew their thoughts; he said to them, Why murmur you, and reason thus among yourselves?
20 The Christ is everlasting life; he came from heaven; he has the keys of heaven, and no man enters into heaven except he fills himself with Christ.
21 I came in flesh to do the will of God, and, lo, this flesh and blood are filled with Christ; and so I am the living bread that comes from heaven;
22 And when you eat this flesh and drink this blood you will have everlasting life; and if you will, you may become the bread of life.
23 And many of the people were enraged; they said, How can this man give us his flesh to eat, his blood to drink?
24 And his disciples were aggrieved because he said these things, and many turned away and followed him no more.
