Bible Verses About Bread of God: 12

"For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

— John 6:33 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Bread of God want Scripture on the KJV/NIV title artos tou theou — the bread of God — in John 6:33 — not only the Bread of Life "I am" inventory, the Bread from Heaven phrase survey, or the Manna wilderness list alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the bread of life, Bible verses about bread from heaven, Bible verses about manna, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about eternal life, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. Bread of God here means John 6:33's bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world — distinct from Bread of Life / Bread from Heaven / Manna lists alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "bread" is ἄρτος artos (Strong's G740; Bible Hub G740) — bread, a loaf. John 6:33 joins it with God: the bread of God (artos tou theou) is the one that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. This list tracks that bread-of-God title, not the whole "I am the bread of life" inventory and not the wilderness manna substance list alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on John 6 presses that Christ is the bread of God who gives life to the world (Bible Hub MHC John 6; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on John 6). (Bread of Life, Bread from Heaven, and Manna live on those pages; this list centers artos tou theou.)
