Luke 22:17-20 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."

In John 6:51(KJV) it says "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shal live forever:and the bread that I will give is my flesh: which I will give for the life of the world I hope this helps youve got to remember it wont say bread is symbolic straight up bit it tells you like this in the verses of the bible.

The Bible says Man does not live by Bread alone, but by every word that comes out of his Mouth.

I take it you are referring to the "Bread of Life" discourse in John chapter 6. In verse 53 Jesus says, "The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life". Many Protestants interpret this as, "The words I have spoken to you are just supposed to be spiritual truths, not taken at face value". Of course, if the Protestant interpretation is supposed to be understood that way then why does the Bible tell us in verse 60 that,"from that time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed Jesus"?
Jesus never meant it to be symbolic and his disciples never understood it as symbolic either.
