SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:54
El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna; y yo le resucitar en el día postrero.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 6:54
Verse 54. Hath eternal life] This can never be understood of the sacrament of the Lord's supper. 1. Because this was not instituted till a year after; at the last Passover. 2. It cannot be said that those who do not receive that sacrament must perish everlastingly. Nor can it be supposed that all those who do receive it are necessarily and eternally saved. On the contrary, St. Paul intimates that many who received it at Corinth perished, because they received it unworthily, not discerning the Lord's body: not distinguishing between it and a common meal; and not properly considering that sacrifice for sin, of which the sacrament of the Lord's super was a type: see 1 Cor. xi. 30.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood , etc.] Spiritually by faith, as explained in the preceding verse: hath eternal life ; the principle of spiritual life, which is evidently implanted in him, as appears from his eating and drinking; and is a durable and lasting principle: grace is an incorruptible seed; every part of it is abiding and permanent; and it is itself the beginning, pledge, and earnest of everlasting life, and is inseparably connected with it: moreover, such have eternal life itself, not only in Christ their head, but in themselves: they have a right unto it, and a meetness for it: and may be assured of it, as if they were personally possessed of it, from their election to it; the security of it in Christ; from the grace they have received, which is the beginning of glory; and the earnest of it in themselves: and I will raise him up at the last day ; to enjoy it in soul and body; (see Gill on John 6:39-40).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 52-59 - The flesh and blood of the Son of man, denote the Redeemer in the nature of man; Christ and him crucified, and the redemption wrought ou by him, with all the precious benefits of redemption; pardon of sin acceptance with God, the way to the throne of grace, the promises of the covenant, and eternal life. These are called the flesh and blood of Christ, because they are purchased by the breaking his body, and the shedding of his blood. Also, because they are meat and drink to ou souls. Eating this flesh and drinking this blood mean believing in Christ. We partake of Christ and his benefits by faith. The soul tha rightly knows its state and wants, finds whatever can calm the conscience, and promote true holiness, in the redeemer, God manifest in the flesh. Meditating upon the cross of Christ gives life to ou repentance, love, and gratitude. We live by him, as our bodies live by our food. We live by him, as the members by the head, the branches be the root: because he lives we shall live also.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
54. Eateth (trwgwn). Another verb for eating is used. With the exception of Matt. xxiv. 38, it is found only in John, and always in connection with Christ. No special significance can be fairly attached to its use here. It seems to be taken as a current word, and efagon is resumed in ver. 58.
