Exo 16:16-18, Joh 6:27, 33-58 | ESV | STEP | This is what the Lord has commanded : Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat . You shall each take an omer , according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent .

Exodus 16:16-18

16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an ^aomer, ^{▼▼An omer was about 2 quarts or 2 liters} according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’” 17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less. 18 But when they measured it with an omer, ^cwhoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat.

John 6:27

27 ^dDo not work for the food that perishes, but for ^ethe food that endures to eternal life, which ^fthe Son of Man will give to you. For on ^ghim God the Father has ^hset his seal.”

John 6:33-58

33 For the bread of God is ⁱhe who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, ^j“Sir, give us this bread always.”

35 Jesus said to them, ^k“I am the bread of life; ^lwhoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 ^mAll that ⁿthe Father gives me will come to me, and ^owhoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For ^pI have come down from heaven, not to do ^qmy own will but ^rthe will of him ^swho sent me. 39 And ^tthis is the will of him who sent me, ^uthat I should lose nothing of ^vall that he has given me, but ^wraise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^xlooks on the Son and ^ybelieves in him ^zshould have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, ^aa“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, ^ab“Is not this Jesus, ^acthe son of Joseph, whose father and mother ^adwe know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me ^aedraws him. And ^afI will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ^ag‘And they will all be ^ahtaught by God.’ ^aiEveryone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 ^ajnot that anyone has seen the Father except ^akhe who is from God; he ^alhas seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^amwhoever believes has eternal life. 48 ^anI am the bread of life. 49 ^aoYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^apthey died. 50 ^aqThis is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^arand not die. 51 I am the living bread ^asthat came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^atfor the life of the world is ^aumy flesh.”

52 The Jews then ^avdisputed among themselves, saying, ^aw“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^axthe Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^ayhave no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^azhas eternal life, and ^baI will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^bbabides in me, and I in him. 57 As ^bcthe living Father ^bdsent me, and ^beI live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 ^bfThis is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread ^{▼▼Greek lacks the bread} the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
