I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from being their slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and caused you to walk upright.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.

Moses said,“ This is what the LORD has commanded:‘ Fill an omer with it to be kept for generations to come, so that they may see the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’”

Then Jesus told them,“ I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”So they said to him,“ Sir, give us this bread all the time!”Jesus said to them,“ I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.Now this is the will of the one who sent me– that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.For this is the will of my Father– for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said,“ I am the bread that came down from heaven,”and they said,“ 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 replied,“ Do not complain about me to one another.No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.It is written in the prophets,‘ And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns 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 tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.I am the bread of life.Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another,“ How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”Jesus said to them,“ I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.

He gave a command to the clouds above, and opened the doors in the sky.He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them the grain of heaven.Man ate the food of the mighty ones. He sent them more than enough to eat.

Yet until now she has refused to acknowledge that I was the one who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil; and that it was I who lavished on her the silver and gold– which they used in worshiping Baal!

Draw me after you; let us hurry! May the king bring me into his bedroom chambers! We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. The Beloved to Her Lover: How rightly the young women adore you!

The LORD says,“ The people of Israel who survived death at the hands of the enemy will find favor in the wilderness as they journey to find rest for themselves.In a far-off land the LORD will manifest himself to them. He will say to them,‘ I have loved you with an everlasting love. That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.

They asked for food, and he sent quails; he satisfied them with food from the sky.

For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died.
