Jesus (Yeshua) The Bread of Life
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his (His) disciples were entered, and that Jesus (original name in Hebrew: Yeshua) went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his (His) disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit (However) there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto (near to) the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus (Yeshua) was not there, neither his (His) disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus (Yeshua).
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him (Him), Rabbi, when camest thou hither (Teacher, when did You get here)?
26 Jesus (Yeshua) answered them and said, Verily, verily (Truly, truly), I say unto you, Ye (You) seek me, not because ye (you) saw the miracles, but because ye (you) did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed (Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures [and leads] to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for God the Father has authorized Him and put His seal on Him).
28 Then said they unto him (Him), What shall we do, that we might work (do) the works of God?
29 Jesus (Yeshua) answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him (you believe in Him) whom he hath (He has) sent.
30 They said therefore unto him (Him), What sign shewest thou then (What sign do you show then), that we may see, and believe thee (you)? what dost thou work (What [supernatural] work will You do [as proof])?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus (Yeshua) said unto them, Verily, verily (Truly, truly), I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my (My) Father giveth you (who gives you) the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven (He who comes down out of heaven), and giveth (gives) life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him (Him), Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus (Yeshua) said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh (comes) to me (Me) shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me (and He who believes in Me) shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye (you) also have seen me (Me), and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me (gives Me will come to Me); and him that cometh (comes) to me I will in no wise cast out (I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, never reject anyone who follows Me]).
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine (my) own will, but the will of him that sent me (but the will/wish of Him who sent me) .
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath (has) sent me, that of all which he hath (has) given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth (who sees) the Son, and believeth on (and believes in Him) him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured (grumbled) at him (Him), because he (He) said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus (Yeshua), the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven (How does He now [have the arrogance to] say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’)?
43 Jesus (Yeshua) therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not (Do not grumble) among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me (Me), except the Father which hath sent me fraw him (has sent Me draws him): and I will raise him up at the last day.

19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren (brothers), of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry.

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
