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.

Exodus 16:16-35
This is what the Lord has commanded:‘ Gather as much of it as each person needs to eat. You may take two quarts per individual, according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.’”So the Israelites did this. Some gathered a lot, some a little.When they measured it by quarts, the person who gathered a lot had no surplus, and the person who gathered a little had no shortage. Each gathered as much as he needed to eat.Moses said to them,“ No one is to let any of it remain until morning.”But they didn’t listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and smelled. Therefore Moses was angry with them.They gathered it every morning. Each gathered as much as he needed to eat, but when the sun grew hot, it melted.On the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, four quarts apiece, and all the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses.He told them,“ This is what the Lord has said:‘ Tomorrow is a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil, and set aside everything left over to be kept until morning.’”So they set it aside until morning as Moses commanded, and it didn’t smell or have any maggots in it.“ Eat it today,” Moses said,“ because today is a Sabbath to the Lord. Today you won’t find any in the field.For six days you may gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find any.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ How long will you refuse to keep My commands and instructions?Understand that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day He will give you two days’ worth of bread. Each of you stay where you are; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.”So the people rested on the seventh day.The house of Israel named the substance manna. It resembled coriander seed, was white, and tasted like wafers made with honey.Moses said,“ This is what the Lord has commanded:‘ Two quarts of it are to be preserved throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”Moses told Aaron,“ Take a container and put two quarts of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be preserved throughout your generations.”As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the testimony to be preserved.The Israelites ate manna for 40 years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they reached the border of the land of Canaan.
