Cycle B
Gospel Note:
While the pericope preceding this one dealt with the
satisfaction of physical hunger, the subject now is spiritual
sustenance. Jesus now prods the crowd who were fed the day before
to turn their attention to the imperishable and enduring food of
eternal life. When asked what task (or "work") they might perform
to earn such bread, Jesus asserts simply "belief in" himself, for
God has given the "true" Bread from above.
