Weekday Gospel Reflection
Tuesday in the Third Week of Easter

30 The crowd said therefore to Jesus, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

John 6:30-35 - World English Bible

This passage continued the Eucharistic dialogue of John 6. In 6:34, Jesus insisted to do God's will meant to believe in the Son, the One the Father sent. Referring to referred to Exodus 16:4, Nehemiah 9:15 and Psalm 78:24-25, the skeptical crowd basically said, "Prove it! Moses gave our ancestors manna as a sign. What's your sign?" The Lord appealed to the Father who would give the true bread from heaven. He was the bread of life; he was that sign. Those who came to him would never hunger or thirst.

How has Jesus satiated your hunger?
