Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven{Greek and Hebrew use the same word for "heaven", "the heavens", "the sky", and "the air".} to eat.'"
      (2.) He  informs  them concerning the  true  manna, of which that was a type:  But my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven;  that which is truly and properly the  bread from heaven,  of which the manna was but a shadow and figure, is  now given,  not to  your fathers,  who are dead and gone, but  to you  of this present age, for whom thebetter things were reserved:  he is  now giving  you that  bread from heaven,  which is  truly  so called. As much as the throne of God's glory is above the clouds of the air, so much does the  spiritual bread  of the everlasting gospel excel the  manna.  In calling God  his Father,  he proclaims himself greater than Moses; for Moses was faithful but as a servant, Christ as a  Son,  ; Hebrews 3:5-6.
