I will pass along, therefore, throughout the land of Egypt this night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, - and against all the gods of Egypt, will I execute judgments - I, Yahweh. Then shall the blood serve you for a sign, on the houses wherein ye are, then will I behold the blood, and will pass over you, - and there shall be among you no plague to destroy, when I smite the laud of Egypt. So shall this day serve you for a memorial, and ye shall celebrate it, as a festival to Yahweh, - to your generations - as an age-abiding statute, shall ye celebrate it. Seven days, unleavened cakes, shall ye eat, surely, on the first day, shall ye put away leaven, out of your houses, - for whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of Israel, from the first day, unto the seventh day.

So then ye shall observe the unleavened cakes, because on this self-same day, brought I forth your hosts out of the land of Egypt, - so then ye shall observe this day to your generations, as a statute age-abiding, In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, shall ye eat unleavened cakes, - until the one-and-twentieth day of the month in the evening, For seven days, leaven, shall not be found in your houses, - for, whosoever eateth what is leavened, then shall that soul be cut off out of the assembly of Israel, whether sojourner or native of the land. Nothing leavened, shall ye eat, - in all your dwellings, shall ye eat unleavened cakes. So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, - Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock according to your families, and slay the passover. Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam and the two door-posts, with the blood which is in the basin, - and, ye, shall not go forth any man out of the entrance of his house, until morning, And Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam and upon the two door-pests, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to inflict on you the plague. And ye shall observe this thing, - for a statute to thee and to thy sons unto times age-abiding. And so it shall come to pass when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you as he hath spoken, - and ye shall observe this service; and it shall come to pass that your sons shall say unto you, - What is this your service? Then shall ye say - A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed-over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians but our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down. And the sons of Israel went their way and did, - as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.

John 6:31-58

Our fathers, did eat, the manna, in the desert, - just as it is written: Bread out of heaven, he gave them to eat. Jesus said unto them - Verily, verily, I say unto you: Not Moses, gave you the bread out of heaven; but, my Father, giveth you the real bread out of heaven. For, the bread of God, is that which is coming down out of heaven, and giving, life, unto the world. read more.
They said, therefore, unto him - Sir! Evermore, give us this bread. Jesus said unto them - I, am the bread of life: he that cometh unto me, in nowise shall hunger, and, he that believeth on me, in nowise shall thirst, any more. But I told you - Ye have even seen me, and yet do not believe. All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out, - Because I have come down from heaven, - Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that sent me. And, this, is the will of him that sent me, That, of all that which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. For, this, is the will of my Father, That, every one that vieweth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life age-abiding, and, I, should raise him up, at the last day. The Jews, therefore, began to murmur concerning him, because he said - I, am the bread that came down out of heaven; and were saying - Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, - of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down? Jesus answered, and said unto them - Be not murmuring, one with another: No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, draw him, - and, I, will raise him up, in the last day. It is written in the prophets, - And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me. Not that any one hath seen, the Father, save he who is from God, - this one, hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that believeth, hath life age-abiding. I am the bread of life: - Your fathers, did eat, in the desert, the manna, - and died: This, is the bread which, out of heaven, cometh down, that one, thereof, may eat, - and not die. I, am the living bread, which, out of heaven, came down: If one eat of this bread, he shall live unto times age-abiding; and, the bread, moreover, which, I, will give, is, my flesh - for the world's life. The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying - How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat? Jesus, therefore, said unto them - Verily, verily, I say unto you - Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have not life within yourselves. He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life age-abiding, and, I, will raise him up at the last day; For, my flesh, is, true, food, and, my blood, is, true, drink: He that feedeth upon my flesh, and drinketh my blood, in me, abideth, and, I, in him. Just as the living Father sent me, - and I live by reason of the Father, he also that feedeth upon me, even he, shall live by reason of me. This, is the bread, which, out of heaven, came down: - Not just as your fathers did eat - and died! He that feedeth upon this bread, shall live unto times age-abiding.
