John6:32
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven ; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven .
You are mistaken in your Opinion of that Manna, which indeed was Bread from Heaven; Spiritual meat (as the Apostle calleth it, 1 Cor. 10.3.) But it was not given you by any Power or Vertue in or from Moses; Moses said otherwise; when it was first rained down, he told them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat, Exod. 16.15. It was the Lord, not Moses, that gave you that Bread
Nor was that true Spiritual bread; it was onely Spiritual (as the Apostle calleth it) because it was Typical, and prefigurative of me. My Father giveth you the true Bread from Heaven: It was he that gave your Fathers Manna, not Moses; and it is he who giveth you me, who am the true bread, of which that bread was but Typical, a shadow, and a Figure.
