John 6:33-35
6:33 For the bread of God is the one who
comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
6:34 So they said to him, “Sir,
give us this bread all the time!”
6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:47-58
6:47 I tell you the solemn truth,
the one who believes
has eternal life.
6:48 I am the bread of life.
6:49 Your ancestors
ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
6:50 This
is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person
may eat from it and not die.
6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread
that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
6:52 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
6:53 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.
6:54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.
6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.
6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”
John 6:1
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
6:1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also called the Sea of Tiberias).
Colossians 1:26-29
1:26 that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints.
1:27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious
riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
1:28 We proclaim him by instructing
and teaching
all people
with all wisdom so that we may present every person mature
in Christ.
1:29 Toward this goal
I also labor, struggling according to his power that powerfully
works in me.
