If you read john 6 it is not a sacrament at all. Jesus is telling them not to look for physical food. But spiritual food. Which one can eat and not die what is the food? it is the words, the spirit gives life. The words I speak are spirit and life he is telling them to listen to his message...

Study to shew yourselves approved, a workman who needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth This is what Gd tells all of us to do. If we all did this, we would not fall so easily for deceptive men who try to decieve us with their truth..
