“Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life… For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed… It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.”
Jn. 6:53-64
“I am the door…”
Jn. 10:9
“I am the vine, ye are the branches…”
