Verb trōgō (to chew) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Matthew

24: 38For as in those days before the flood they were chewing (trōgō) and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark,

John

6: 54Those who chew (trōgō) my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day;
6: 56Those who chew (trōgō) my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
6: 57Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever chews (trōgō) me will live because of me.
6: 58This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who chews (trōgō) this bread will live forever."
13: 18I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who chewed (trōgō) my bread has lifted his heel against me.'
