Mrk 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David,that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

Jhn 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

Jhn 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe onhim whom he hath sent.

Jhn 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, andbelieve thee? what dost thou work?

Jhn 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them breadfrom heaven to eat.

Jhn 6:32 ThenJesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not thatbread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

Jhn 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life untothe world.

Jhn 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

Jhn 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shallnever hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Jhn 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of thisbread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh,which I will give for the life of the world.
