Man is not by bread alone. Not by bread alone

St. Maxim Turinsky

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

The Savior defeats the devil's cunning with an amazing answer. He does not do what the devil says, so that it would not seem that He is manifesting the glory of His power at the will of the enemy, but He does not answer that it is impossible to do, because He could not deny what He had already done more than once. Therefore, the Lord does not agree with what the devil offers Him and does not reject his questions, but thereby retains His decision to demonstrate His power and exposes the enemy’s cunning with divine eloquence. Therefore He answers him: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, - that is, not with earthly bread, not with material food with which you deceived the first man Adam, but by the word of God, in which lies the food of spiritual life. The Word of God is Christ the Lord, as the evangelist says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God(John 1:1) . Therefore, anyone who feeds on the word of Christ does not need earthly nutrition. For he who is strengthened by the bread of the Savior cannot desire the bread of this age. After all, the Lord has His bread, and moreover, this bread- The Savior Himself, as He taught, saying: I am the bread that came down from heaven(John 6:41) . The prophet also speaks about this bread: And the bread that strengthens the heart of man(Ps. 104:15)

St. Isidore Pelusiot

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

Stones were not turned into bread by Christ, my dear, not because the time for miracles had not yet arrived, as the idle talkers proclaim, but because the request was vain and befitting only the one who asked. God gives everything in number, and in measure, and in accordance with the need, but here what was asked was unnecessary, and the working of miracles was completely untimely.

Right John of Kronstadt

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

Know now, when you fast physically, that man, a spiritual and immortal being, can live not from bread and various foodstuffs alone, but from the word of God, and much more from the word of God than from bread. Eating material food is the most common way of satiation for all sensual creatures, as gross as the body; it is adapted to our planetary life, subordinate in everything to the planet on which we live. But since our life is not limited only to existence on earth, but will continue after it burns up - forever and ever, it is natural for a person to desire and demand food other than planetary, coarse food - namely, eternal food, adapted to an immortal being , the spiritual-intelligent nature of our soul. What kind of food is this? This is the food by which immortal spirits - Angels - live, the food by which all the worlds of the universe are sustained in their entire composition and in all their parts - that is, this is the word of God.

Blzh. Hieronymus of Stridonsky

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

The evidence is taken from the book of Deuteronomy (Deut. 8:3). And the Lord answers this way because He meant to win victory over the devil not through His power, but through His humility. At the same time, it should be noted that if the Lord had not begun to fast, then the devil would not have had the opportunity to be tempted, according to what is written: My son, when you begin to serve before the Lord, stand in righteousness and fear, and prepare your soul for the test(Sir. 2:1). But the very answer of the Savior shows that the man was the One who was subjected to temptation: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. So, whoever does not feed on the word of God does not live.

Blzh. Theophylact of Bulgaria

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

This testimony is taken from the Old Testament, for these are the words of Moses. And the Jews ate manna, which was not bread, but according to the Word of God it satisfied every need of the Jews, it was everything that anyone wanted to eat. Whether the Jew wanted fish, eggs, or cheese, manna satisfied his taste.

Interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew.

Evfimy Zigaben

He answered and said: It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Seeing his wickedness, Jesus did not perform the required sign. Signs were usually performed for the benefit of those who contemplate; but the devil could not gain any benefit from here. And subsequently, seeing everything that Christ created, he did not change at all. But Christ responds to his hidden thoughts and silences him with Scripture from the book of Deuteronomy (8:3), as if saying: why are you ordering me to make bread out of stones? Of course, because of the hunger that torments Me, so that when I see them, I will be tempted to eat. But not alone only man shall live by bread, and there is another type of food. Every word that comes from the mouth of God to the hungry, like food, it sustains his life and satisfies him. Thus, He generously repelled the temptation to gluttony. It should be noted that Matthew said in plural: stones, and Luke in the only one: stone. Such harmless differences can often be found among evangelicals. The evidence comes from the Old Testament: these are the words of Moses. And the Jews ate manna, which, although it was not bread, but according to the word of God satisfied every need of the Jews and became everything that anyone wanted to eat. Whether a Jew craved fish, or eggs, or cheese, manna gave him just that taste.

Interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew.

Origen

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

What has been said has already been said by the Savior, and for those in the know it becomes clear that before manna, which is heavenly food, one must suffer and starve, using up one’s fat as food. For it is thus written: And remember all the way that the Lord your God led you through the wilderness, to humble you, to test you and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. He humbled you, made you hungry and fed you with manna, which your fathers did not know, to show you that man does not live by bread alone.(Deut. 8:2, . And the fact that the manna, as He says, was a word, becomes clear from the answer of Moses to the question of the children of Israel, when they said to each other: what is this?(Ex. 16:15) . What did Moses say? This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. This is the word that the Lord commanded(Ex. 16:15-16) . After this, the devil moves on to another [temptation to suffer a new] defeat.

Fragments.

Lopukhin A.P.

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

(Luke 4:4) . Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God(Deut. 8:3) Let us first explain, as far as possible, what meaning these words, the first words spoken by the Savior after baptism, could have had. The body is supported by food. But a person does not consist of only one body. The body cannot nourish itself or nourish itself; it, so to speak, transmits information about its needs and requirements to the spirit, and only with its help receives what it needs for its continuation and existence. The spirit provides for the body and its needs; it would perish without such provision. In tempting Christ, the devil therefore did not turn to the main source human life. Wanting to achieve his goal, he turned to the slave (body) instead of his master (spirit), and tempted the body to dominate its master, to subjugate him to his will. But this order was not normal. It is not the spirit that is dependent on the body, but the body on the spirit. For the body to be alive, the spirit must be alive. But the life of the spirit does not depend on bodily nutrition. It just seems that way. The spirit feeds on different food. Since the image and likeness of God lies not in the body, but in the human spirit, then the food that nourishes the spirit is given by God - this is the word of God. The devil represented man primarily as a physical being, the Savior represents man primarily as a spiritual being. The Lord seemed to forget about feeding the body while feeding his spirit. The devil forgot about feeding the spirit, expressing outward concern for the body. The error was exposed and the temptation was repelled.

Christ's answer to the devil is taken from Deut. 8:3. According to the LXX translation, this passage reads literally like this: ... “to proclaim to you that man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes through the mouth of God, man will live.” Lit. from the Hebrew: “...that man does not live by bread alone, that man lives by everything that comes from the mouth of the Most High.” Our Russian text of Deuteronomy, apparently, deviates from both the Greek and the Hebrew, and is closest to the Latin Vulgate. It is difficult to say from what text the quotation in the verse in question in Matthew is given. But it is certain that Matthew deviates here from both the Hebrew text and the LXX translation, which is already evident from the fact that “a man lives,” repeated in both the Greek and Hebrew texts, is not repeated by the evangelist. But the true and exact meaning of the original is preserved in the Gospel, and instead of the Hebrew “lives” it is said “will live,” as in LXX. In Deut. 8:3 its writer reminds the people of his wanderings in the wilderness and says that there God “humbled you, made you hungry and fed you with manna... to show you that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from mouth of the Lord." How a person lives by the word of God was demonstrated by the life of the Jews in the desert. Despite the famine, Israel remained alive there because the Lord commanded him to live, and in necessary cases, according to the word of God, manna fell. Consequently, the Savior did not need to worry about bread. God will give Him food when He needs it. He will not die if he does not turn stones into bread. Luke's speech is shortened.

Trinity leaves

He answered and said to him, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

What about Christ the Savior? He speaks directly about what the devil has kept silent about; He is not ashamed that he is hungry; but he does not want to obey the devil in anything, so as to teach us not to obey him even when he suggests something useful. So later He commanded the demons to remain silent when they called Him the Son of God. He answered and said to him: It is written: (in the book of Deuteronomy) Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God(Deut. 8:3). And besides bread, God has many ways to feed a person. You want Me to perform a miracle for My pleasure, but I will not do it. If such a miracle was needed, then God Himself would have created it for Me. But He does not create: that means it is not needed. I will endure hunger until God pleases to satisfy Me. I will work miracles, but not for Myself, but for the glory of God, for the salvation of people. If a hair does not fall from a person’s head without the will of God, then much less will God allow Me to die of hunger; you just need to surrender yourself to God’s good care in everything. And God can satisfy our hunger with His single word. A person has needs that are more important than food: spiritual food is more important than physical food. My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to complete His work.(John 4:34). And conversation with God, prayer, is sweeter for Me than any food. So the devil wanted to convict Jesus Christ of unbelief in God’s Providence, but Christ the Savior placed his hope entirely in His Heavenly Father and did not want to please His flesh in a miraculous way. He conquered temptation from the flesh through abstinence.

Man does not live by bread alone
From the Bible (Old Testament, Deuteronomy, Chapter 8, Art. 3). Moses, calming his people, tired of the long return from Egyptian captivity, said that it was not in vain that God subjected the people of Israel to such trials: “He humbled you, tormented you with hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know and your fathers did not know, in order to show you that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. man lives."
In the New Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew (chapter 4), this expression is also found. When Jesus was in the desert and kept a long fast (vv. 3-4), “the tempter came to Him and said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. He answered and said to him: It is written: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
IN modern Russia the expression gained additional popularity after the publication (1956) of the novel “Not by Bread Alone” by Vladimir Dudintsev (1918-1998).
The meaning of the expression: for a person to be completely happy, material well-being is not enough; he needs spiritual food and moral satisfaction.

Dear Church, dear brothers and sisters!

I warmly welcome you! May grace and peace be multiplied to you!

May God strengthen you, give you wisdom and patience, bless and protect you from all evil!

The Bible says: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”(Matt. 4:4). The first thing that is clear from the words of Jesus Christ is that every person needs bread. Bread, i.e. food is vital for maintaining our strength, fulfilling necessary work requires our efforts, and without timely replenishment of these forces, a person simply cannot survive.

But then Jesus Christ says an equally important thought: man lives not only on physical food. For normal life we need the word that comes from the mouth of God. How physical food is vital for our physical person, so the word of God is necessary for our inner man, for our soul.

The Word of God written in the Bible is just a text consisting of letters and words that “comes to life” for those who communicate with the Author of the Bible and know Him personally. You can receive a letter from an unknown person and it will not make you particularly happy, no matter what it says. When we receive a letter from a family member or friend, we react completely differently. But it is much better to communicate with this person in person. Therefore, God wants us not just to read the Bible as a book, but to communicate with Him “mouth to mouth,” “face to face,” receiving living word from the living God through the Scriptures.

“When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him and asked Him: Lord! my servant lies at home in relaxation and suffers cruelly. Jesus says to him: I will come and heal him. The centurion, answering, said: Lord! I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will recover.”(Matt. 8:5-8). The centurion received a specific, living word from God about his situation, and his servant was healed! With this word a person will live! We all need just such a word that fills us with inner strength!

Without inner strength We cannot do anything good in life from God. A physically weak person who has not eaten for several days may understand what he needs to do, but he simply will not have the strength to do it. The same thing happens in the lives of many Christians: with their minds they understand how to live and do the right thing, but they can’t do it for one reason - they don’t have inner strength.

The Apostle Peter speaks of believers as those who “They are being kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in Lately(1 Peter 1:5). “Observed” means “kept.” We cannot be saved and go to heaven on our own - there is not enough enthusiasm. This is only possible by the power of God! How do we get this power? “By the power of God through faith” that comes “by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”(Rom. 10:17).

The Word of God is the deciding factor in our lives. Without the word abiding in us, problems are inevitable. Jesus Christ addresses people full of problems: “And you do not have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.”(John 5:38).

What is the first thing we think about when we first wake up and start our day? About urgent calls, urgent matters and problems surrounding us? What is first for us is our god. Why did God speak about firstborns, firstfruits, first sheaves in the Old Testament? Did He really want to take something away from people? No, not to take it away, but to show people who their god really is.

God wants to be our God. And God reveals His word and speaks to those for whom He is God, to those for whom He comes first.

If we wake up and set aside our first time to spend with God, the rest days will pass in God's blessing and arrangement. For many people this seems impossible. But this time is worth setting yourself apart and dwelling in the Kingdom of God, which is “not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

A normal Christian life is when our heart is filled not with fear and vanity, not with feelings of guilt and condemnation, but with righteousness, peace and joy! Jesus Christ came to give us abundant life, but how does this happen practically? When, despite all our busyness, we give the first time to God. Without doing this, we will still spend all our energy on solving problems during the day, and most- for completely unnecessary things, vanity, worries, worries. So wouldn’t it be better to spend this energy on being in communion with God at the beginning of the day?

Without communication with God, our life becomes like an empty car: we try to go somewhere, achieve something, but nothing works, we stand still. We try to restore order, but it turns out to be even more of a mess. We endlessly “sort out our affairs,” but sooner or later everything falls into disrepair.

Dear brothers and sisters! Our lives can change and become different if only we decide every day, with consistency, to begin our day with prayer and the Word of God. Problems will no longer be solved only by our efforts or calculations, but God Himself will help us and arrange everything amazingly, winning the hearts of the people, giving us all the necessary wisdom and understanding in all our affairs. When the word from God is within us, we will be full of vitality, because “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.”

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

With love in Christ,
your brother and shepherd Leonid Padun

This well-known image appears in both the Old and New Testaments, and its meaning is quite clear. In fact, it means that our needs are not limited to satisfying only material needs. However, it is worth noting how categorical this statement is. Spiritual satisfaction presented as a fundamental need of life, comparable to the need for food. Essentially, all other religions and spiritual traditions stand in the same positions: in order to live, we need “food for the soul.” In my opinion, this is true in a completely literal sense. The state of our spiritual life is directly related to the functioning of our body, including metabolism, digestion, respiration and all other types of physiological activities. But we often neglect or underestimate our spiritual needs. Of course, there are some signs that such behavior is gradually being replaced by something else - people are once again becoming aware of spiritual values. .

And yet the materialistic orientation, under the influence of which we were so long time, entailed very serious consequences, closely related to the prevalence in modern society tendency to bad habits. Since we are not fully aware of the need for spiritual achievement, it is not surprising that many people misunderstand the true needs of the human spirit. They discover a great variety of hyperstimulating activities and an equal number of ways to relieve tension, replacing with them the state of “really upper class“—precisely that deep experience that Robert Johnson calls ecstasy.
This is unfortunate, because we need ecstasy. We need it as urgently as we need food, water and air. But in modern Western society this fundamental human need is not fully understood. Over the past thirty years, we have made significant progress in understanding how our physical environment has deteriorated and in overcoming these types of trends. But we have not yet been able to realize our spiritual needs as decisively. In problem bad habits I see a direct consequence of this fundamental oversight.
In every culture, in every era human history people felt the need for an ecstatic experience - for pleasure of one kind or another, going beyond the framework of everyday reality. Various cultures they tried to satisfy this need in many different ways, and some of these methods turned out to be much more spiritually oriented than all others.
In the 19th century, the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky argued that a person can feel satisfied only by receiving three types of experiences from society - miracles, sacraments and spiritual guidance, and that these experiences are much more important to him than the satisfaction of material needs. A person with an addiction seems to believe that through it he can obtain miracles and mysteries, and the lack of spiritual guidance makes this view even more seductive. Instead of considering addicts simply weak people, and even criminals, I prefer to see in them those who, destructive for themselves, but still in a completely understandable way respond to the spiritual vacuum hiding behind our material abundance.
We're all feeling the effects of this. spiritual vacuum Depending on who we are and the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we respond to it in one of many ways. However, in our society, the human response to aspirations that are spiritual in their essence very often takes material forms.
