Context of John 6:34

32Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you this: It was not Moses who gave bread to you from heaven. No. It is my Father who gives to you the true bread from heaven. 33God's bread is the one who comes down from heaven. He is the one who gives life to people in the world.’ So they said to him, ‘Sir, please give this bread to us now and always.’ 35Then Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread that gives life to people. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36You have seen me, but still you do not believe in me. I have told you that before.

(Joh 4:15).Read the comment
