'Ate' in the Bible

However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"

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

This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
