John · chapter 6 · verse 35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.John 6:35 · King James Version
What John 6:35 means
Jesus says this the day after feeding five thousand, to people who came back looking for more bread. Bread is the plainest food there is, not a luxury. And the two verbs are cometh and believeth — the hunger he's answering isn't the one they walked in with.
