I am looking in Strong's, reference 5315 and it shows it is esthio, not phagein

That's because Strong's does not assign a separate number to phagein. Strong's is a useful but flawed tool.

If one consults John 6:53 in any Greek text of the New Testament, the word used is phagein.

I do not find phagein in Rev 2:17.

esthio, not phago esthio
