Nathan Condemns David
But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord,(B) 12 1
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul;(F) 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah, and if that had been too little, I would have added as much more. 9 Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.(G) 10 Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, for you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.(H) 11 Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.(I) 12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and in broad daylight.”(J) 13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan said to David, “Now the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.(K)
2 Samuel 11:26-12:13
New International Version
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning(A) was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased(B) the Lord.
Nathan Rebukes David(C)
12 The Lord sent Nathan(D) to David.(E) When he came to him,(F) he said, “There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, 3 but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.
4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.”
5 David(G) burned with anger(H) against the man(I) and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives,(J) the man who did this must die! 6 He must pay for that lamb four times over,(K) because he did such a thing and had no pity.”
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!(L) This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed(M) you(N) king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you,(O) and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise(P) the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down(Q) Uriah(R) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed(S) him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword(T) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household(U) I am going to bring calamity on you.(V) Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.(W) 12 You did it in secret,(X) but I will do this thing in broad daylight(Y) before all Israel.’”
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned(Z) against the Lord.”
Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away(AA) your sin.(AB) You are not going to die.(AC)
John 6:24-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.(A)
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate your fill of the loaves.(B) 27 Do not work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.”(C) 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”(D) 30 So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us, then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing?(E) 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”(F) 32 Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which[a] comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”(G) 34 They said to him, “Sir,[b] give us this bread always.”(H)
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.(I)

Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi,(A) when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,(B) not because you saw the signs(C) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures(D) to eternal life,(E) which the Son of Man(F) will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal(G) of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe(H) in the one he has sent.”(I)
30 So they asked him, “What sign(J) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?(K) What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna(L) in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a]”(M)
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven(N) and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”(O)
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am(P) the bread of life.(Q) Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes(R) in me will never be thirsty.(S)
