Original text and translations

Latin text Venite comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis. Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto et mortui sunt; qui manducat hunc panem vivet in aeternum.

English translation Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert and are dead; Who eats of this bread will live forever.
