John 6:30-35
So they said to him,
"Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do
you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He
gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" Jesus then said to them,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from
heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is
that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." They said
to him, "Lord, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them,
"I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who
believes in me shall never thirst."

Gusto nan mga Jewish
leaders na pagprokurar si Jesus nan manna para mapruweba Nija na Messiah Sija.
Pero tagtubag ni
Jesus sila na dili kon si Moses an naghatag dila nan manna kondili si God; na
an manna na ila tagdawat dili gajud kon tinood na pan gikan sa langit kondili
simbolo lamang nan umaabot na pan.
Dinhi indeklarar ni
Jesus na: Ako an pan nan kinabuhi (I am the bread of life) – an pan na mismo an
kinabuhi ni God, an pan na maghatag nan waya’y katapusan na binabuhi.
Ugsa na kada dawat
nato kan Jesus Christ sa Eucharist, dinhi nato maambit an Ija lawas sanan dugo na
amo’y makahatag dato nan langit’non na kinabuhi.
Sa ato mga adlaw-adlaw
na kinabuhi, hanapon ba nato an pan nan kinabuhi?

"Lord Jesus
Christ, you are the bread of life. You alone can satisfy the hunger in
my heart. May I always find in you, the true bread from heaven, the source of
life and nourishment I need to sustain me on my journey to the promised land of
heaven."
