John vi. blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is

For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you,

that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people

honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far

from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of

men.

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
