John 6:48

⁽¹⁰⁾ I am that bread of life.

⁽¹⁰⁾ The true use of sacraments is to ascend from them to the thing itself, that is, to Christ: and by the partaking of him alone we get everlasting life.

John 6:33-35 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. ... And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ... For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

1 Corinthians 11:24-25 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. ... After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
