Jesus, the Bread of Life for Kids: Bible Story & Printables

The story in a nutshell

After Jesus fed the five thousand, the people sought him "because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled." Jesus said, "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life." They said their fathers did eat manna in the desert, bread from heaven, and Jesus answered that "the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world." When they said, "Lord, evermore give us this bread," Jesus said, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
