ἐὰν δέ τις πρὸς ταῦτα ἀνθυποφέρῃ λέγων μὴ ἂν αὐτὸν διδάσκειν ὡς περὶ ἑτέρου ὄντος ἄρτου τοῦ ἐπιουσίου αἰτεῖν, ἀκουέτω ὅτι καὶ ἐν τῷ κατὰ Ἰωάννην ὅπου μὲν ὡς περὶ ἑτέρου τινὸς παρ᾿ αὐτὸν διαλέγεται, ὅπου δὲ ὡς αὐτὸς ὁ ἄρτος ὤν· ὡς μὲν περὶ ἑτέρου διὰ τούτων· „Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,“ „οὐ“ „τὸν ἀληθινὸν,“ „ἀλλ᾿ ὁ πατήρ μου δίδωσιν ὑμῖν τὸν ἄρτον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸν ἀληθινόν“· ὡς δὲ περὶ αὐτοῦ φησι πρὸς εἰπόντας αὐτῷ· „πάντοτε δὸς ἡμῖν τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον,“ „ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς· ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρός με οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ. καὶ ὀ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ διψήσῃ πώποτε.“ καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγα· „ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος (ὁ ζῶν) ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς· ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου, ζήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ὁ ἄρτος δὲ, ὃν ἐγὼ δώσω, ἡ σάρξ μου ἐστὶν, ἣν ἐγὼ δώσω ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς.“
