Have no right to eat. MacKnight says: "The sacrifice belonging to those who believe, is the sacrifice of himself, which Christ offered to God in heaven for the sins of the world: and the eating of that sacrifice does not mean the literal eating of it, but the partaking of the pardon which Christ has procured for sinners by that sacrifice." See notes on John 6:53-56. The Jewish priests did eat the sacrifice of their altar in the Jewish tent (Hebrews 9:8-10). The point is that Christians are not to be seduced away from Christ by animal sacrifices.
