About this episode

This episode discusses Jesus' teaching about being the bread of heaven and the reaction of the crowds to his challenging message.

The crowds follow Jesus to the other side of the sea, and there, they ask him to perform a sign to prove that he has been sent by God. When they mention manna, Jesus reminds them that the manna came heaven, not from Moses. He thereby makes the case that he, himself is the bread of heaven. Then things get weird, for Jesus tells them that his followers must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life and be raised on the last day. Because of this, many of those who were following Jesus turned back and no longer accompanied Jesus and the other disciples.
