Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 10:3

"and did all eat the same spiritual food;" — 1 Corinthians 10:3 (ASV)

Spiritual meat.—The manna (Exodus 16:13) was not natural food, for it was not produced in the natural way, but it was supplied by the Spirit and power of God. Bread from earth would be natural bread, but this was bread from heaven (John 6:31). Our Lord (John 6:50) had already made the Christian Church familiar with the true bread, of which that food had been the type.
