Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.

But against

Then the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord that he would take away the snakes from us." So Moses prayed for the people.

The Lord said to Samuel, "Do everything the people request of you. For it is not you that they have rejected, but it is me that they have rejected as their king.

For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the Lord; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.

"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

"The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."

I tell you the solemn truth, whoever accepts the one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."

So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment

Consequently the one who rejects this is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
