Jesus answered, "But the scripture also says, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "

Then Jesus answered, "Go away, Satan! The scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!' "

But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Human beings cannot live on bread alone.' "

Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!' "

But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "

Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us.

And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you.

He made you go hungry, and then he gave you manna to eat, food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did this to teach you that you must not depend on bread alone to sustain you, but on everything that the LORD says.

But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Human beings cannot live on bread alone.' "

"They don't have to leave," answered Jesus. "You yourselves give them something to eat!"

"Then bring them here to me," Jesus said.

Everyone ate and had enough. Then the disciples took up twelve baskets full of what was left over.

Then Moses said, "It is the LORD who will give you meat to eat in the evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, because he has heard how much you have complained against him. When you complain against us, you are really complaining against the LORD."

When the Israelites saw it, they didn't know what it was and asked each other, "What is it?" Moses said to them, "This is the food that the LORD has given you to eat.

The Israelites ate manna for the next forty years, until they reached the land of Canaan, where they settled.

In the month of Abib, the month in which you left Egypt, celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the way that I commanded you. Do not eat any bread made with yeast during the seven days of this festival. Never come to worship me without bringing an offering.

She answered, "By the living LORD your God I swear that I don't have any bread. All I have is a handful of flour in a bowl and a bit of olive oil in a jar. I came here to gather some firewood to take back home and prepare what little I have for my son and me. That will be our last meal, and then we will starve to death."

For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The bowl will not run out of flour or the jar run out of oil before the day that I, the LORD, send rain.' "

As the LORD had promised through Elijah, the bowl did not run out of flour nor did the jar run out of oil.

Another time, a man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing Elisha twenty loaves of bread made from the first barley harvested that year, and some freshly-cut heads of grain. Elisha told his servant to feed the group of prophets with this,

So the servant set the food before them, and as the LORD had said, they all ate, and there was still some left over.

Elisha answered, "Listen to what the LORD says! By this time tomorrow you will be able to buy in Samaria ten pounds of the best wheat or twenty pounds of barley for one piece of silver."

The personal attendant of the king said to Elisha, "That can't happen---not even if the LORD himself were to send grain at once!" "You will see it happen, but you won't get to eat any of the food," Elisha replied.

you would go to a pile of grain expecting to find twenty bushels, but there would be only ten. You would go to draw fifty gallons of wine from a vat, but find only twenty.

Today is the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day that the foundation of the Temple has been completed. See what is going to happen from now on.

A curse is on all of you because the whole nation is cheating me.

I will not let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes.

So Jesus asked them, "How much bread do you have? Go and see." When they found out, they told him, "Five loaves and also two fish."

So the people sat down in rows, in groups of a hundred and groups of fifty.

Everyone ate and had enough.

The number of men who were fed was five thousand.

His disciples asked him, "Where in this desert can anyone find enough food to feed all these people?"

He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the crowd; and the disciples did so.

Everybody ate and had enough---there were about four thousand people. Then the disciples took up seven baskets full of pieces left over. Jesus sent the people away

Jesus looked around and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, so he asked Philip, "Where can we buy enough food to feed all these people?"

Philip answered, "For everyone to have even a little, it would take more than two hundred silver coins to buy enough bread."

"There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But they will certainly not be enough for all these people."

Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.

So they gathered them all and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left over from the five barley loaves which the people had eaten.

Jesus knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king by force; so he went off again to the hills by himself.

Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, just as the scripture says, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "

For the bread that God gives is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"I am the bread of life," Jesus told them. "Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.

Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,

And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.

The people started grumbling about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

Jesus answered, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.

The prophets wrote, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' Anyone who hears the Father and learns from him comes to me.

I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life.

Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If you eat this bread, you will live forever. The bread that I will give you is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live."

Jesus said to them, "I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.

For my flesh is the real food; my blood is the real drink.

The living Father sent me, and because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me.

Jesus said this as he taught in the synagogue in Capernaum.
