“Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for Me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you...
it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; My Father gives you the true bread from heaven...
I am the true bread of life; whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thrist.”
(John 6:26, 32, 35)
