On Wednesday July 23, 2008 we'll be discussing:
Your questions about Scripture!

For the rest of the summer,
the DEEP IN SCRIPTURE program will be driven by your questions
about Scripture, about Scripture study,
and especially your questions about the Catholic Church and Scripture.

So please contact us with your questions.
If we can't answer them immediately on air,
we'll research them for next week.

And don't worry, when you call you will not be live on air!
A staff member will write down your question,
and then either call you back when we want your call on air
or pass your question along to us.

So please contact us at:
Phone: On air phone number: 1-800-664-5110 or 1-740-450-1175

JOHN 6:47-69

 47: Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
 48: I am the bread of life.
 49: Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
 50: This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.
 51: I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."
 52: The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
 53: So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;
 54: he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
 55: For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
 56: He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
 57: As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.
 58: This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."
 59: This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Caper'na-um.
 60: Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"
 61: But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?
 62: Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?
 63: It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
 64: But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.
 65: And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."
 66: After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.
 67: Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"
 68: Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;
 69: and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."
