Psalms 78:23-25
78:23 He gave a command to the clouds above,
and opened the doors in the sky.
78:24 He rained down manna for them to eat;
he gave them the grain of heaven.
78:25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones.
He sent them more than enough to eat.
John 6:31-33
6:31 Our ancestors
ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘
He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
6:32 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
John 6:48-58
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.”
