他在他們的一切患難中也受患難，並且他面前的使者拯救了他們。他以自己的愛和憐恤救贖了他們，在古時所有的日子裡舉起他們、背負他們。

耶穌對他們說：「我確確實實地告訴你們：那從天上來的糧不是摩西賜給你們的，而是我父把從天上來的真糧賜給了你們。要知道，神的糧就是從天上降下來、賜生命給世人的那一位。」他們就對耶穌說：「主啊，請你時常把這糧賜給我們！」耶穌對他們說：「我就是生命的糧。到我這裡來的人，絕不飢餓；信我的人，永不乾渴。但是我告訴過你們，你們雖然看到了我，還是不信。凡是父賜給我的人，都會到我這裡來，而到我這裡來的人，我絕不丟棄，因為我從天上降下來，不是要行自己的意思，而是要行那派我來者的意思。那派我來者的旨意，就是要我不失去他賜給我的任何人，而且要我在末日使他復活。要知道，我父的旨意正是：所有看見子而信他的人都得到永恆的生命，並且在末日，我將要使他復活。」這時候，一些猶太人因為耶穌說『我是從天上降下來的糧』，就私下議論他，並說：「這不就是約瑟的兒子耶穌嗎？我們不都認識他的父母嗎？現在他怎麼說『我是從天上降下來的』呢？」耶穌就對他們說：「你們不要彼此議論了。如果不是派我來的父引領他，沒有人能到我這裡來；到我這裡來的，在末日我還要使他復活。先知書上記著：『他們都將成為神所教導的人。』任何人聽了並領會了從父而來的教導，就會到我這裡來。這並不是說，有誰看到父；只有從神而來的那一位，他才看到父。「我確確實實地告訴你們：信我的人，就有永恆的生命。我就是生命的糧。你們的祖先在曠野吃了嗎哪，還是死了。那從天上降下來、讓人吃了而不死的糧，就在這裡。我就是從天上降下來的生命的糧。人如果吃了這糧，就將活著，直到永遠。我要賜的糧就是我的肉身，是為了世人的生命所賜的。」於是那些猶太人彼此爭論，說：「這個人怎麼能把自己的肉身給我們吃呢？」耶穌說：「我確確實實地告訴你們：如果你們不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，你們裡面就沒有生命。吃我肉、喝我血的人，就有永恆的生命，在末日我還要使他復活；因為我的肉是真食物，我的血是真飲物。吃我肉、喝我血的人，住在我裡面，我也住在他裡面。永生的父怎樣差派了我，我又因父而活，照樣，以我為食的人也將因我而活。這才是從天上降下來的糧，不像嗎哪。你們的祖先吃過嗎哪還是死了，而吃這糧的人就將活著，直到永遠。」

我要作他的父親，他要作我的兒子。當他行事扭曲，我要用人的杖、用世人的鞭來懲戒他；

但他還是吩咐天上的雲朵，打開了天上的門；他降下嗎哪給他們吃，把天上的糧食賜給他們；人吃到了天使的糧食；他送食物給他們，使他們滿足。

他們祈求，他就使鵪鶉飛來，並用天上的糧食使他們飽足。

實際上，基督的愛催逼著我們，因為我們如此判定：既然一個人替所有的人死了，所有的人就都死了；
