Description: "If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you/Joh. 6.54", printed by Ignaz Mair in Heidelberg, 1812. Depiction from the Gospel of John, after the feeding of the 5000. It says: "I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert and died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that whoever eats of it may not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. He that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Then the Jews quarreled among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say unto you: Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
