This document summarizes a section from the Gospel of John where Jesus teaches his disciples that they must eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. Many disciples abandon Jesus after this difficult teaching. When Jesus asks the twelve apostles if they will also leave, Peter responds that they believe Jesus has the words of eternal life. The summary concludes by noting Jesus reveals that one of the twelve, Judas, will betray him.
