In this YouTube short, Paul Woodley reflects on John chapter 6, where Jesus tells his listeners to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Woodley notes that many of Jesus' followers found this teaching shocking and "hard talk," causing them to abandon Jesus. He then highlights Jesus' direct question to the remaining twelve disciples—"Are you going to leave me too?"—underscoring the theme of commitment versus rejection. The commentary emphasizes the difficulty of accepting Jesus' sacrificial language and challenges viewers to consider their own response to such demanding teachings.

What does that even mean? And a matter of fact, when he started talking in John chapter 6, the chapter before yesterday's chapter we went through, when he started talking about, oh, you know, you have to eat my flesh, drink my blood, you know, a lot of people checked out and they were like, what? This is crazy talk. This is hard talk. And it said then that many disciples left him, right? And then he turned to his other 12 and he says, are you gonna leave me too? Right? And we saw that at the end of that chapter.
