Bread of Life

Read John 6:30-35 Third Wednesday in Easter In chapter 4 of Matthew’s Gospel after his baptism, Jesus went out into the wilderness and fasted for forty days and nights. By the time the fast ended Jesus was famished. Then the tempter came and said to him: “If you are the Son of God command these stones to become loaves of bread.” Though Jesus was very hungry, he told the tempter that “one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:1-4). However, in the Gospel of John, we find Jesus facing another temptation concerning bread.
