Now, half mockingly, a rabbi questioned, "What sign showest Thou then, that we may see, and believe Thee? what dost Thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."

Nu spurgte en skriftklog halvt spottende: Hvilket tegn gør du så, for at vi kan se det og tro dig? Hvilken gerning gør du? Vore fædre spiste manna i ørkenen, som der står skrevet: Brød fra Himmelen gav han dem at spise.
