11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites; speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ "

13 So in the evening the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a blanket of dew around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew evaporated, on the surface of the wilderness there was a fine, flake-like thing, as fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "*What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. [John 6:31, 33]

31 The house of Israel called the bread manna; it was like coriander seed, white, and it tasted like flat pastry (wafers) made with honey.

23 Yet He commanded the clouds from above

And opened the doors of heaven;

24 And He rained down manna upon them to eat

And gave them the grain of heaven. [Ex 16:14; John 6:31]

25 Man ate the bread of angels;

God sent them provision in abundance.

14 He causes grass to grow for the cattle,

And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man,

So that he may bring food from the earth—

15 And wine which makes the heart of man glad,

So that he may make his face glisten with oil,

And bread to sustain and strengthen man’s heart.

32 Then Jesus said to them, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true *bread out of heaven.33 For the Bread of God is He who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

35 Jesus replied to them, "*I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].

48 I am the Bread of Life [the Living Bread which gives and sustains life]. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.50 This is the Bread that comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.51 I am the Living Bread that came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior], he will live forever. And the Bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh (body)."

3 He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

4 But Jesus replied, "It is written and forever remains written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ " [Deut 8:3]

19 And when He had taken bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].

16 Is the cup of blessing which we bless [at the Lord’s Supper] not a sharing in the blood of Christ? [Indeed it is.] Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ? [Indeed it is.] 17 Since there is one bread, we [believers] who are many are [united into] one body; for we all partake of the one bread [which represents the body of Christ].

9 "Pray, then, *in this way:

‘Our Father, who is in heaven,

*Hallowed be Your name. [Luke 11:2-4]

10 ‘*Your kingdom come,

Your *will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

11 ‘Give us this day our *daily bread.

9 He who is generous will be blessed,

For he gives some of his food to the poor. [2 Cor 9:6-10]

37 But He replied, "You give them something to eat!" And they asked Him, "Shall we go and buy 200 *denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?" [2 Kin 4:42-44] 38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they found out, they said, "Five [loaves], and two fish." 39 Then Jesus commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties [so that the crowd resembled an orderly arrangement of colorful garden plots]. 41 Taking the five loaves and two fish, He looked up to heaven and said a blessing [of praise and thanksgiving to the Father]. Then He broke the loaves and [repeatedly] gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and He divided up the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied. 43 And the disciples picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces [of the loaves], and of the fish.

25 I have been young and now I am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned

Or his descendants pleading for bread.

5 When the disciples reached the other side of the sea, they realized that they had forgotten to bring bread. 6 Jesus said to them, "Watch out and be on your guard against the *leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."7 They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said that because we did not bring bread." 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, "You men of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves that you have no bread?9 Do you still not understand or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you picked up?10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large baskets you picked up?11 How is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the [false] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Cast Your Bread on the Waters

1 Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, [be diligently active, make thoughtful decisions], for you will *find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, or even [divide it] to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.
