August 1, 2021 – 10th Sunday after Pentecost – Communion Sunday
Gospel John 6:26-35 John 6:27 explains what Jesus means by his response. He tells the crowds not to work for food that perishes, which assumes that they had been seeking him to receive more physical food. Instead, he tells them to work for food that endures to eternal life. In John 6:26, Jesus mentions that they had sought him for food instead of something else: signs.
