Answer: Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

Many of the Jews rejected Jesus’ claims about being the bread of life because they found it difficult to accept His teachings as they were contrary to their own religious beliefs. Jesus had claimed that whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood shall live for ever, and this was seen as a violation of their laws regarding the Sabbath and the consumption of blood. Therefore, they could not accept Jesus’ claims.

In response, Jesus reaffirmed His claims and urged them to believe in Him. He said: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day” (John 6:54). He also asked them to stop grumbling and to have faith in Him, as He is the bread of life that gives eternal life. He also said that those who believe in Him will never be hungry or thirsty.
