31. Avoteinu ate the manna in the wilderness [BAMIDBAR 11:7-9; SHEMOT 16:4,15; NECHEMYAH 9:15], as it has been written, LECHEM from SHOMAYIM he gave them to eat. [TEHILLIM 78:24; 105:40]
32. Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, it was not Moshe who has given you the lechem out of Shomayim, but HaAv of me gives you the lechem ha'amitti (the true bread) out of Shomayim.
33. For the lechem of Hashem is that which comes down out of Shomayim and giving Chayyim (Life) to HaOlam.
34. Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, always give us this lechem.
35. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Ani Hu [SHEMOT 3:14] the lechem haChayyim; the one coming to me never hungers, and the one with emunah in me will never thirst again.
36. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not have bitachon, you lack emunah.
37. All which HaAv gives to me will come to me, and the one coming to me I will never turn away.
38. For I have come down from Shomayim not that I may do my ratzon, but the ratzon of the One having sent me.
39. Now this is the ratzon of the One Who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all which He has given me, but I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon (Last Day). [Isa 27:3; Jer 23:4]
40. For this is the ratzon of Avi: that everyone seeing the Ben [HaElohim Moshiach] and believing in him may have Chayyei Olam, and on Yom HaAcharon I will raise him up.
41. Therefore, those of Yehudah were murmuring about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because he said, Ani Hu [SHEMOT 3:14] the lechem having come down out of Shomayim. [SHEMOT 16:4]
42. And they were saying, Is this man not Yehoshua Ben Yosef [Ben Dovid], and do we not know his Av and his Em? Now how does he say, Out of Shomayim I have come down. [Yochanan 1:1,14]
43. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, Do not grumble among yourselves.
44. No one is able to come to me unless HaAv Who sent me should draw him, and I will raise him up on the Yom HaAcharon. [Jer 31:3; Hos 11:4]
45. It has been written in the Nevi'im, V'CHOL they LIMUDI HASHEM (They shall all be taught of G-d [Isa 54:13; see Jer 31:33, 34]. Everyone having heard from HaAv and having learned comes to me.
46. Not that anyone has seen HaAv except the one being sent from Hashem; this one has seen HaAv.
47. Omein, omein, I say to you, the one having emunah has Chayyei Olam.
48. Ani Hu the lechem haChayyim. [BAMIDBAR 14:23; DEVARIM 1:35]
49. Your Avot ate in the wilderness the manna and died.
50. This is the lechem coming down out of Shomayim, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. [Gn 3:22]
51. Ani hu the lechem haChai (the living bread) having come down out of Shomayim. If anyone eats of this lechem he will live l'olam v'ed. And, indeed, the lechem which I will give on behalf of the Chayyim (life) of HaOlam is the basar of me [Ex 12:8].
