Exodus 16:15-22
The people of Israel saw the flakes. They asked each other,“ What’s that?” They didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them,“ It’s the bread the Lord has given you to eat.Here is what the Lord has commanded. He has said,‘ Everyone should gather as much as they need. Take three pounds for each person who lives in your tent.’ ”The people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, and some gathered a little.When they measured it out, the one who gathered a lot didn’t have too much. And the one who gathered a little had enough. Everyone gathered only what they needed.Then Moses said to them,“ Don’t keep any of it until morning.”Some of them didn’t pay any attention to Moses. They kept part of it until morning. But it was full of maggots and began to stink. So Moses became angry with them.Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed. But by the hottest time of the day, the thin flakes had melted away.On the sixth day, the people gathered twice as much. It amounted to six pounds for each person. The leaders of the community came and reported that to Moses.

John 6:27-33
Do not work for food that spoils. Work for food that lasts forever. That is the food the Son of Man will give you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”Then they asked him,“ What does God want from us? What works does he want us to do?”Jesus answered,“ God’s work is to believe in the one he has sent.”So they asked him,“ What sign will you give us? What will you do so we can see it and believe you?Long ago our people ate the manna in the desert. It is written in Scripture,‘ The Lord gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”( Exodus 16:4; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalm 78:24, 25)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.”
