But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.
From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.
The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
