Contextual Overview

28They all replied, "We want to rope, ride, and brand for God's outfit too. What do we have to do first to saddle up with ya?" 29Jesus said, "There is only one thing you have to do. Give your whole life to the Top Hand that God has sent ya." 30They pondered this for a second and then someone shouted out, "Well, show us a miracle so that we know you are the Top Hand. We want to see what you can do. I mean, our ancestors got to eat bread from heaven while they rode across the desert. 31The Good Book says, 'Moses gave 'em biscuits from heaven to eat.'" 32Jesus shot back, "The truth is, Moses didn't give nobody nothin'. My Father did. And now he is offerin' y'all the real bread from heaven. 33The real bread of God gives life, not full bellies." 34"Well," they replied, "give us this bread every day like our ancestors had, and we'll eat it." 35Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whoever rides for me will never be hungry again. Whoever gives his life to me will never be thirsty. 36I'm standing right here in front of you, but you still don't believe I am who I say I am. 37My Father will send the true cowboys to me, and I will never turn them away.
