'Ate' in the Bible

Jesus replied to them and said, "Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."
