John 6:31

New Catholic Bible

³¹Our ancestors ate manna in the desert. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven^[a] to eat.’ ”

John 6:31 Bread from heaven: see Ex 16:4, 15, 32-34; Ps 78:24. There was a belief that the manna had been hidden by Jeremiah (see 2 Mac 2:5-8) and would reappear at Passover in Messianic times.
