Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
All Commentaries on John 6:53 Go To John 6
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
Efore, He says, that whoever shall eat of His bread shall live for ever; as it is manifest that those who partake of His body and receive the Eucharist by the right of communion are living, so, on the other hand, we must fear and pray lest any one who, being withheld from communion, is separate from Christ's body should remain at a distance from salvation; as He Himself threatens, and says, "Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye shall have no life in you.".
Moreover, He says in the same place: "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye shall have no life in you.".
Also in the same place: "Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye shall not have life in you."
