“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.”
'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 final summary contrasts manna (sustaining life but not preventing death) with Jesus (sustaining eternal life). The verb live forever (zese eis ton aiona) expresses the unending quality of this life.
