You forgot to include John 6:63 where Jesus Himself explains what He meant.

Like Lucy; Jesus did some 'splainin' in verse 29 of that chapter...


 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

And Jesus further explains what it is you must believe:

John 6:48-51

Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

Jesus summarizes in verse 63 the words that He has just spoken, the words of spirit and life. The Spirit gives life to those who believe that Jesus is the living bread come down from heaven; that those who eat this bread will live forever; and the bread is His flesh for the life of the world.

Jesus concludes in verse 64: But there are some of you who do not believe.
