Following are a number of back-translations of John 6:51:
- Lalana Chinantec: “I am the food which is alive which came down from heaven. The heart of the person who eats this food will be alive forever. There is food which I will give, because I want the hearts of the people of the world to be alive. I’m talking about my flesh and blood.’ That’s what Jesus said.” (Source: M. Larson / B. Moore in Notes on Translation February 1970, p. 1-125.)
