When The people Jesus feed at Tiberias came to Capernaum ; and asked Him what sign was He going perform; John 6:30; so they may believe Him; they said, John 6:31, "Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat." quoting Psalms 78:24.
Jesus then said; John 6:32,33; "Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
So is the psalms wrong calling it the "bread from heaven"? Or is it a contrast in that the "manna"; as the house of Israel called it in Exodus 16:31; to what Moses said was "the bread which the Lord has given you to eat." Exodus 16:15? So where was the Manna from?
Or is it the contrast that Jesus is the true "bread of heaven" not the earthly "manna" that the Isrealites received in the desert?
