John 6:51 Context
49Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead. 50This is the bread which commeth downe from heauen, that a man may eate thereof, and not die. 51I am the liuing bread, which came downe from heauen. If any man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world. 52The Iewes therefore stroue amongst themselues, saying, How can this man giue vs his flesh to eate? 53Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you.

Wesley's Notes for John 6:51
6:51 If any eat of this bread - That is, believe in me: he shall live for ever - In other words, he that believeth to the end shall be saved. My flesh which I will give you - This whole discourse concerning his flesh and blood refers directly to his passion, and but remotely, if at all, to the Lord's Supper.
