I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. I did not want you to be slaves in Egypt anymore. I threw off your heavy load. I helped you walk with your heads held high.

And I am going to be lifted up from the earth. When I am, I will bring all people to myself.”

When they suffered, he suffered with them. He sent his angel to save them. He set them free because he is loving and kind. He lifted them up and carried them. He did it again and again in days long ago.

Moses said,“ Here is what the Lord has commanded. He has said,‘ Get three pounds of manna. Keep it for all time to come. Then those who live after you will see the bread I gave you to eat in the desert. I gave it to you when I brought you out of Egypt.’ ”

Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. It is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven. It is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.The bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven. He gives life to the world.”“ Sir,” they said,“ always give us this bread.”Then Jesus said,“ I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry. And whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.But it is just as I told you. You have seen me, and you still do not believe.Everyone the Father gives me will come to me. I will never send away anyone who comes to me.I have not come down from heaven to do what I want to do. I have come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.The one who sent me doesn’t want me to lose anyone he has given me. He wants me to raise them up on the last day.My Father wants all who look to the Son and believe in him to have eternal life. I will raise them up on the last day.”Then the Jews there began to complain about Jesus. That was because he said,“ I am the bread that came down from heaven.”They said,“ Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Don’t we know his father and mother? How can he now say,‘ I came down from heaven’?”“ Stop complaining among yourselves,” Jesus answered.“ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them. Then I will raise them up on the last day.It is written in the Prophets,‘ God will teach all of them.’( Isaiah 54:13) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.No one has seen the Father except the one who has come from God. Only he has seen the Father.What I’m about to tell you is true. Everyone who believes has life forever.I am the bread of life.Long ago your people ate the manna in the desert, and they still died.But here is the bread that comes down from heaven. A person can eat it and not die.I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Everyone who eats some of this bread will live forever. This bread is my body. I will give it for the life of the world.”Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves. They said,“ How can this man give us his body to eat?”Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You must eat the Son of Man’s body and drink his blood. If you don’t, you have no life in you.Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life. I will raise them up on the last day.My body is real food. My blood is real drink.Anyone who eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me. And I remain in them.The living Father sent me, and I live because of him. In the same way, those who feed on me will live because of me.This is the bread that came down from heaven. Long ago your people ate manna and died. But whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

The Lord says,“ Some of my people will live through everything their enemies do to them. They will find help in the desert. I will come to give peace and rest to Israel.”The Lord appeared to us in the past. He said,“ I have loved you with a love that lasts forever. I have kept on loving you with a kindness that never fails.

They asked for meat, and he brought them quail. He fed them well with manna, the bread of heaven.
