John 6:31-33

Expanded Bible

³¹ Our ·ancestors [forefathers; ^Lfathers] ate the manna [^Ca flaky breadlike food that God provided the Israelites in the wilderness; Ex. 16:13–36] in the ·desert [wilderness]. ·This is written in the Scriptures [^LAs it is written]: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat [compare Ex. 16:4; Neh. 9:15; Ps. 78:24].’

³² [^LTherefore; So; Then] Jesus said to them, “·I tell you the truth [^LTruly, truly I say to you], it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven. ³³ [^LFor] God’s bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
