“For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.”
'This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.' — the contrast with manna emphasizes the eschatological superiority of Jesus. Manna sustained physical life but could not prevent death; Jesus' bread grants eternal life. The wilderness generation's death despite manna prefigures the consequence of rejecting Jesus.
