O pão da vida
Jesus se declarou o Pão da Vida — o alimento espiritual que satisfaz a fome mais profunda da alma humana. Quem come deste pão viverá para sempre.
Eu sou o Pão da Vida
Jesus disse: 'Eu sou o pão da vida; quem vem a mim nunca terá fome.' Ele é o sustento que sacia a alma eternamente.
Jesus said to them, "Just like food [MET] sustains physical life, I am the one who enables you to have spiritual life. Those who eat ordinary food and drinks will later be hungry and thirsty. But those who come to me to receive that life will never again lack anything spiritually.
Just like food [MET] sustains your physical life, I am the one who enables you to have spiritual life.
The Jewish leaders [SYN] began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the one who is like true bread who came down from heaven."
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get spiritual food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God my Father has shown that he approves of me enabling me to do that."
O pão que dá vida ao mundo
Jesus é o pão vivo que desceu do céu. Quem come da sua carne e bebe do seu sangue tem a vida eterna e será ressuscitado no último dia.
I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have spiritual life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to all the people in [MTY] the world in order that they may have spiritual life."
So, speaking figuratively of the need for them to accept for themselves the benefits of his sacrificing himself and shedding his blood to atone for their sins [MET], Jesus said to them, "Listen carefully to this: Although I am the one who came from heaven, if you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have eternal life.
Jesus said to him, "I am the road [MET] to where my Father is. I am the one who reveals [MET] the truth about God and the one who gives eternal life to people. I am the only one who can enable people to come to my Father. There is no other way.
Saciar a fome da alma
Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça, porque serão fartos. Nem só de pão vive o homem, mas de toda palavra que sai da boca de Deus.
God is pleased with people who sincerely desire to live righteously just like they desire to eat and drink [MET];
they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
But Jesus said to him, "No! I will not change stones into bread, because it is written in the Scriptures {in the Scriptures Moses wrote}, ‘Eating food [SYN] sustains people physically, but it does not sustain them spiritually [SYN]. Instead, paying attention to everything that God has spoken to them is what sustains people spiritually.’"
Jesus taught that we should not worry about having enough food and clothes.
"Because you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I tell you that you should not worry about things that you need in order to live. Do not worry about whether you will have enough food to eat, and something to drink, or enough clothes to wear. It is important to have sufficient food and drink and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ]. Look at the birds. They do not plant seeds, and they do not harvest crops and gather them into barns. But they always have food to eat because God, your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!
