'Food' in the Bible

For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.
