John 6:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 [a]They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see it, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat Manna in the desert, as it is (A)written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 [b]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not [c]that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you that true bread from heaven.

- John 6:30 The spiritual virtue of Christ is contemned of them which are desirous of earthly miracles.
- John 6:32 Christ, who is the true and only author and giver of eternal life, was signified unto the fathers, in Manna.
- John 6:32 He denieth that Manna was that true heavenly bread, and saith that he himself is that true bread, because he feedeth unto the true and everlasting life. And as for that, that Paul 1 Cor. 10 calleth Manna spiritual food, it maketh nothing against this place, for he joineth the thing signified with the sign: but in this whole disputation, Christ dealeth with the Jews after their own opinion and conceit of the matter, and they had no further consideration of the Manna, but in that it fed the belly.
