19:4	And he continued on, into the desert, for one day’s journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: “It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. For I am no better than my fathers.”
19:5	And he stretched himself out, and he slept deeply in the shadow of the juniper tree. And behold, an Angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him, “Rise up and eat.”
19:6	He looked, and behold, at his head was bread baked under ashes, and a container of water. Then he ate and drank, and again he slept deeply.
19:7	And the Angel of the Lord returned a second time, and touched him, and said to him: “Rise up, eat. For a great journey again stands before you.”
19:8	And he when he had risen up, he ate and drank. And he walked by the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God, Horeb.

6:41	Therefore, the Jews murmured about him, because he had said: “I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.”

6:43	And so Jesus responded and said to them: “Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.
6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
