⁸ the people have turned aside and gathered `it', and ground `it' with millstones, or beat `it' in a mortar, and boiled `it' in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste hath been as the taste of the moisture of oil.

¹⁶ `This `is' the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is `gathering' much, and he who is `gathering' little;

¹⁸ and they measure with an omer, and he who is `gathering' much hath nothing over, and he who is `gathering' little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.

³¹ and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it `is' as coriander seed, white; and its taste `is' as a cake with honey.

²³ And he saith unto them, `It `is' that which Jehovah hath spoken `of'; a rest -- a holy sabbath to Jehovah -- `is' to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- `even' God.'

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

³⁴ They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.'

³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

³⁶ but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁷ all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁹ `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

⁴⁰ and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

⁴¹ The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

⁴² and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

⁴³ Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁴⁴ no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁶ not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

⁴⁷ `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life;

⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us `his' flesh to eat?'

⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

⁵⁴ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁵ for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

⁵⁶ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

⁵⁷ `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'
