John 6:31 - Forerunner Commentary

John 6:31

29 Jesus answered and said to them, ^a“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

30 Therefore they said to Him, ^a“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

31 ^aOur fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ^b‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but ^aMy Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 ^aThen they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
