Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. (Jn 6:32)
For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” (Jn 6:33)
The Jewish Passover Festival was near. (Jn 6:4)
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” (Jn 6:5)
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. (Jn 6:6)
Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!” (John 6:7)
Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” (Jn 6:8-9)
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). (Jn 6:10)
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. (Jn 6:11)
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” (Jn 6:12)
So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. (Jn 6:13)
After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” (Jn 6:14)
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. (Jn. 6:35)
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever." (Jn. 6:51a)
"This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (Jn 6:51:b)
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. (Jn 6:53)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. (Jn 6:54)
For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. (Jn 6:55)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. (Jn 6:56)
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. (Jn 6:57)
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” (Jn 6:58)
On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” (Jn 6:60)
