The twelfth word in the Greek text you just posted clearly reads phaghte.

I have three Greek texts of the NT, and all three record just as you have posted in Greek characters:

eipen oun autois o Iesous, amen amen lego umin, ean
me phagete ien sarka tou uiou tou anthropou kai piete
autou to aima, ouk echete zoen en eautois.

Using English letters instead of Greek, the term "phagete" is what is used. The root is "phago" which is a masculine term meaning "glutton".

Nowhere does the term "esthio" appear in John 6:53 nor in Rev. 2:17. The argument is ridiculous IMHO.
