John 6:41 Douay-Rheims

The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(de Prædest. Sanctorum, c. viii) Or thus; When a schoolmaster is the only one in a town, we say loosely, This man teaches all here to read; not that all learn of him, but that he teaches all who do learn. And in the same way we say that God teaches all men to come to Christ: not that all do come, but that no one comes in any other way.
