<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus told them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

This<n id="1" /> is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors<n id="2" /> ate, but then later died.<n id="3" /> The one who eats<n id="4" /> this bread will live forever.&#8221;p>
