John 6:31-59
English Standard Version
31 (A)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, (B)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is (C)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, (D)“Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, (E)“I am the bread of life; (F)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 (G)All that (H)the Father gives me will come to me, and (I)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For (J)I have come down from heaven, not to do (K)my own will but (L)the will of him (M)who sent me. 39 And (N)this is the will of him who sent me, (O)that I should lose nothing of (P)all that he has given me, but (Q)raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who (R)looks on the Son and (S)believes in him (T)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, (U)“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, (V)“Is not this Jesus, (W)the son of Joseph, whose father and mother (X)we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me (Y)draws him. And (Z)I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, (AA)‘And they will all be (AB)taught by God.’ (AC)Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 (AD)not that anyone has seen the Father except (AE)he who is from God; he (AF)has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AG)whoever believes has eternal life. 48 (AH)I am the bread of life. 49 (AI)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and (AJ)they died. 50 (AK)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it (AL)and not die. 51 I am the living bread (AM)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give (AN)for the life of the world is (AO)my flesh.”
52 The Jews then (AP)disputed among themselves, saying, (AQ)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of (AR)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you (AS)have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (AT)has eternal life, and (AU)I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (AV)abides in me, and I in him. 57 As (AW)the living Father (AX)sent me, and (AY)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 (AZ)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught (BA)at Capernaum.

English Standard Version
5 (A)Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to (B)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 (C)Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii[a] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, (D)Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five (E)barley loaves and two fish, but (F)what are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (G)Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and (H)when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, (I)“This is indeed (J)the Prophet (K)who is to come into the world!”
15 (L)Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus (M)withdrew again to (N)the mountain by himself.

And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” 15 And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
