John 6:31 In-Context

29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God: that you believe in [the one] whom that one sent."
30 So they said to him, "Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see [it] and believe you? What will you do?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'
32 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!
33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
