Bible verse
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
John 6:49 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 6.
45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me—
46 not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.
47 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”
52 At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
