Bible Passages About the Eucharist
1 Corinthians 11:20-29 DRB (20) When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. (21) For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. (22) What, have you no houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. (23) For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, (24) And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me. (25) In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. (26) For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. (27) Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. (28) But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. (29) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

John 6:27-69 DRB Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. (28) They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? (29) Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. (30) They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work? (31) Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. (32) Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. (33) For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world. (34) They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread. (35) And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. (36) But I said unto you that you also have seen me, and you believe not. (37) All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. (38) Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me. (39) Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. (40) And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will raise him up in the last day.

(42) And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven? (43) Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. (44) No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him. And I will raise him up in the last day. (45) It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh forth me. (46) Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. (47) Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. (48) I am the bread of life. (49) Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. (50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. (51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven. (6:52) If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (52) (6:53) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? (53) (6:54) Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. (54) (6:55) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. (55) (6:56) For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. (56) (6:57) He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him. (57) (6:58) As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. (58) (6:59) This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. (59) (6:60) These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. (60) (6:61) Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it? (61) (6:62) But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? (62) (6:63) If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (63) (6:64) It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (64) (6:65) But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. (65) (6:66) And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. (66) (6:67) After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. (67) (6:68) Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?

(19) And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them: and they prepared the pasch. (20) But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.

(23) But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. (24) The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. (25) And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it. (26) And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread and blessed and broke and gave to his disciples and said: Take ye and eat. This is my body. (27) And taking the chalice, he gave thanks and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. (28) For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins. (29) And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.

(21) And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. (22) And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body. (23) And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them.
