The Bread of Life

³² Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from Heaven; but my Father giveth you the true Bread from Heaven.
³³ For the Bread of God is He which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I Am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
³⁶ But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
³⁷ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
³⁸ For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.
³⁹ And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which He hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
⁴¹ The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, I am the bread which came down from Heaven. [So what else is new? They are always seeking ways to prevent the truth from being exposed. Back to the Body of Christ Communion Bible study on the Body of Christ Bible verses ...]
⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from Heaven?
⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He which is of God, He hath seen the Father.
⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
⁴⁸ I am that bread of life.
⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
⁵⁰ This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
⁵¹ I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven: if any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?
⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them [concerning the The Body of Christ Communion,] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. [This is the Truth they sought to keep hidden. Let’s return to the Body of Christ Bible study on the Body of Christ Bible verses ...]
⁵⁸ This is that bread which came down from Heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
⁶⁰ Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
⁶¹ When Jesus knew in Himself that his disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth this offend you? [They did not understand the Spiritual aspect of The Body of Christ Communion.]
⁶² What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before?
⁶³ It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. [See? The Body of Christ Bible study is sharing insight into the Spiritual view of the Body of Christ Bible verses. Back to the Body of Christ Communion story ...]
⁶⁴ But, there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him.
⁶⁵ And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
¹⁷ For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come.

⁶ Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
⁷ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
⁸ Which when Jesus perceived, He said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
⁹ Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
¹⁰ Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
¹² Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
² The same was in the beginning with God.
³ All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.

In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. The same [Jesus] was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.

³ And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
⁴ But, He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
