John 6:31-59
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”Jesus said to them,“ I assure you: Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven.For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”Then they said,“ Sir, give us this bread always!”“ I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them.“ No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.But as I told you, you’ve seen Me, and yet you do not believe.Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.For I have come down from heaven, not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.This is the will of Him who sent Me: that I should lose none of those He has given Me but should raise them up on the last day.For this is the will of My Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”Therefore the Jews started complaining about Him because He said,“ I am the bread that came down from heaven.”They were saying,“ Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He now say,‘ I have come down from heaven’?”Jesus answered them,“ Stop complaining among yourselves.No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.It is written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me—not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.“ I assure you: Anyone who believes has eternal life.I am the bread of life.Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”At that, the Jews argued among themselves,“ How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”So Jesus said to them,“ I assure you: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves.Anyone who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day,because My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink.The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate— and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Therefore, when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward Him, He asked Philip,“ Where will we buy bread so these people can eat?”He asked this to test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.Philip answered,“ Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for each of them to have a little.”One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,“ There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish— but what are they for so many?”Then Jesus said,“ Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated— so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.When they were full, He told His disciples,“ Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.When the people saw the sign He had done, they said,“ This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world!”Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

what state were you in? When someone came to a grain heap of 20 measures, it only amounted to 10; when one came to the winepress to dip 50 measures from the vat, it only amounted to 20.I struck you— all the work of your hands— with blight, mildew, and hail, but you didn’t turn to Me”— this is the Lord’s declaration.“ Consider carefully from this day forward; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid; consider it carefully.Is there still seed left in the granary? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet produced. But from this day on I will bless you.”

But she said,“ As the Lord your God lives, I don’t have anything baked— only a handful of flour in the jar and a bit of oil in the jug. Just now, I am gathering a couple of sticks in order to go prepare it for myself and my son so we can eat it and die.”Then Elijah said to her,“ Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son,for this is what the Lord God of Israel says,‘ The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.”So she proceeded to do according to the word of Elijah. Then the woman, Elijah, and her household ate for many days.The flour jar did not become empty, and the oil jug did not run dry, according to the word of the Lord He had spoken through Elijah.
