“But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.”
'My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.' — Jesus redefines sustenance: his nourishment is conformity to the Father's purpose and completion of his mission. The work (ergon) refers to the entire redemptive mission, including his passion. This establishes the sacrificial character of his ministry.
