Yochanan 6:27-38 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

27. Do not work for the okhel that is perishing, but for the okhel remaining to Chayyei Olam, which the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] will give to you, for Elohim HaAv has set His chotam (seal) on this one [YESHAYAH 55:2].

28. Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, What may we do that we may work the pe'ulot Hashem?

29. In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, This is the mitzvah of Hashem, that you may believe in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach whom Hashem has sent.

30. They said, therefore, to him, What ot (sign) then do you perform that we may see and may have emunah in you? What work do you do?

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.
