Let us spend the night in the villages.

There I will give you my love.

Who nursed at my mother’s breasts.
If I found you outside, I would kiss you;
No one would despise me, either.

Into the house of my mother, who used to teach me;
I would give you spiced wine to drink from the sweet wine of my pomegranates.
3 Let (G)his left hand be under my head
And his right hand embrace me.”

I Am the Bread of Life
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you (B)seek Me, not because you saw (C)signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not (D)work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to (E)eternal life, which (F)the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, (G)set His seal.” 28 Therefore they said to Him, “What should we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is (H)the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He (I)has sent.” 30 So they said to Him, “(J)What then do You do for a (K)sign so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform? 31 (L)Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘(M)He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is [a]that which (N)comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, always (O)give us this bread.”
35 Jesus said to them, “(P)I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never hunger, and he who believes in Me (Q)will never thirst.
