After feeding five thousand, Jesus teaches in Capernaum's synagogue. Manna in the wilderness and Passover themes echo as he claims to be God's sustaining provision for eternal life.
The Narrative — The Lead-Up
The crowd seeks more signs; Jesus redirects them from perishable bread to the bread God gives from heaven. He identifies himself as that bread come down to give life to the world.
