Scripture Reading for August 11, 2024

John 6:35, 41-51


35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; anyone who comes to me shall not hunger, and everyone who believes in me shall never thirst.”


41 Therefore the Judeans murmured at him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur with one another. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly,   I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.


51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven;   if any one eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread which I give for the life of the world is my flesh.”


Ephesians 4:25-5:2


25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.


31 Put away from you all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God, in Christ, has forgiven you.  5 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly beloved children 2 and live in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering
