Augustine of Hippo, on John 6:28
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
John 6:28 · Douay-Rheims
“They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
On this verse:
“(Tr. xxv. 13.) As if He said, That manna was the type of this food, of which I just now spoke; and which all my miracles refer to. You like my miracles, you despise what is signified by them. This bread which God gives, and which this manna represented, is the Lord Jesus Christ, as we read next, For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.”
