John 6:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

31 [a]Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:(A)

‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

32 So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.(B) 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
