Go back and reread the book of John from the Catholic chapter sixteen and tell which proverbs you think He was referring to in the text you quoted.

Go back and reread the book of John from the Catholic chapter sixteen and tell which proverbs you think He was referring to in the text you quoted. Jesus spoke in proverbs and analogies very often, which He clearly stated. So to argue that He COULDN'T have been speaking of the blood and body in a metaphorical usage is clearly wrong. And since a literal interpretation of that command would have resulted in a violation God's Law against consuming blood, the symbolic or metaphorical usage is the one that is in harmony with the rest of the Scripture.
