11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "I have heard the grumblings of the Israelites.* Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight* you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be full with bread, and you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’ "

13 And so it was, in the evening, the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning, a layer of dew was all around the camp. 14 And the layer of dew came up, and there* on the face of the desert was a fine granular substance, fine like frost on the ground. 15 And the Israelites* saw, and they said to each other,* "What is this?" because they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "That is the bread that Yahweh has given to you as food.

31 And the house of Israel called its name "manna." And it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like a wafer with honey.

23 Nevertheless, he commanded the skies above

and opened the doors of heaven,

24 and rained down on them manna to eat

and gave them the grain of heaven.

25 Humankind ate the bread of angels.*

He sent them food enough to be satisfied.

14 who causes grass to grow for the cattle

and herbs for the service of humankind,

to bring forth food from the earth,

15 and wine that makes glad the heart of man,

so that their faces shine from oil,

and bread that strengthens the heart of man.

32 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven! 33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34 So they said to him, "Sir, always give us this bread!"

35 Jesus said 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 will never be thirsty again.

48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever.* And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

3 And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and then he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors* know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all that goes out* of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live.

4 But he answered and* said, "It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God."*

19 And he took bread, and* after* giving 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 as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share from the one bread.

9 Therefore you pray in this way:

"Our Father who is in heaven,

may your name be treated as holy.

10 May your kingdom come,

may your will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread,

9 He who is generous* will be blessed,

for he gives to the poor from his own bread.

37 But he answered and* said to them, "You give them something* to eat." And they said to him, "Should we go and* purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give it* to them to eat?" 38 And he said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they* found out, they said, "Five, and two fish." 39 And he ordered them all to recline in groups on the green grass. 40 And they reclined in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish and* looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave them* to his disciples so that they could set them* before them. And he distributed the two fish to them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied. 43 And they picked up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and of the fish.

25 I was a youth, but I am now old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken

or his children begging for* bread.

Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5 And when* the disciples arrived at the other side,* they had forgotten to take bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 7 So they were discussing this* among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not take bread." 8 But knowing this,* Jesus said, "Why are you discussing among yourselves that you did not take bread,* you of little faith? 9 Do you not yet understand or do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up? 11 How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 12 Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Living in the Light of the Limits of Human Knowledge

1 Send out your bread on the water,

for in many days you will find it.

2 Divide your share in seven or in eight,

for you do not know what disaster will happen on the earth.
