Thisisadmittedevenbysome non-Catholicscholars.Briefly, thewholestructureofthepassagemakesafigurativeinterpretationimpossible.Christ's hearersshowedbytheirconduct thattheyunderstoodHimliterally,andtheFathersofthe ChurchandtheearlyCouncils followedtheirexample.You mightwellask:

NOROOMFOR DOUBT

"Whydoyousaythatthe structureofthepassagedemandsaliteralinterpretation?"

A.:Thedecisivepassagesare thefollowing:

Verse52:"ThebreadwhichI willgiveisMyFleshforthe lifeoftheworld."

Verse54:"Exceptyoueatthe FleshoftheSonofManand dringHisBlood,youshallnot havelifeinyou."

Verse56:"ForMyFleshismeat indeed,andMyBloodisdrink indeed."

SIGNIFICANT MURMER

"HowdidOurLord'shearers understandHiswards?"

A.:Themurmuringofthe Jewsandtheirquery:"Howcan thismangiveusHisfleshto eat-?isclearevidencethatthey understoodHimliterally.Yet, farfromrepudiatingthisconstructionputonHiswords,Jesus repeatedtheminthemostsolemnmanner:"Amen,Amen,I sayuntoyou:exceptyoueatthe fleshoftheSonofManand drinkHisblood,youshallnot havelifeinyou.HethateatethMyfleshanddrinkethMy bloodhatheverlastinglife,and Ishallraisehimuponthelast day:'Andasiftoprecludea figurativeinterpretationofHis words,Hecontinued:"ForMy fleshismeatindeedandMy bloodisdrinkindeed."St. JohntellsusthatmanyofHis discipleswerescandalisedand protested:"Thissayingishard, andwhocanhearit?"ButinsteadofretractingwhatHehad said,Christreproachedthem fortheirlackoffaithanddemandedthattheybelieveHim, byalludingtoHisdivineorigin

andHisfutureascensioninto

Heaven.Hecouldhaveclearedupthemisunderstanding, hadtherebeenone,withasinglewordasHehaddoneso oftenbefore,butHeallowed themtodepart.Finally,turningtotheApostles,Heasked them:"Willyoualsogoaway?" Peterrepliedforthemall: "Lord,towhomshallwego?
