What the Bible has to say about:
Neither have I gone back from the
commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than
my necessary food. (Job 23:12)
He causeth the grass to grow for the
cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out
of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make
his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. (Psalm
104:14-15)
Nevertheless he left not himself without
witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful
seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. (Acts 14:17)
All the commandments which I command
thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and
go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your
fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD
thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and
to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep
his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers
know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD
doth man live. (Deut. 8:1-3)
I have been young, and now am old; yet
have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is
ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and
do good; and dwell for evermore. (Psalm 37:25-27)
The LORD hath sworn in
truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will
I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my
testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy
throne for evermore. For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath
desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I
dwell; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I
will satisfy her poor with bread. (Psalm 132:11-15)
John 6 24 When the
people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they
also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And
when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me,
not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and
were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for
that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall
give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then
said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he
hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What
sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou
work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is
written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the
true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from
heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then
said they unto him, LORD, evermore give us this bread. 35 And
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he
that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst. 36 But I
said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of
all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up
again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and
I will raise him up at the last day. 41 The Jews
then murmured at him, because he said, I am the
bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they
said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we
know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus
therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among yourselves. 44 No
man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I
will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all
taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of
the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead. 50 This is the
bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not
die. 51 I am the living
bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall
live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his
flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever.
