In John 6:48-50, we read:
48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Referring to the Greek version of John 6:48, we see that in Greek, “bread” is “αρτος” (artos), which has a numerical value of 671.
Greek | Value | English |
εγω | 808 | I |
ειμι | 65 | am |
ο | 70 | the |
αρτος | 671 | BREAD |
της | 508 | of-the |
ζωης | 1015 | life |
The divisors of 671 are in the set {1,11,61,671}. So the Arithmetic Mean of 671 is (1+11+61+671)/4=186. A permutation of {1,8,6} is {1,6,8}, and 168 gives us an identifier of the Lord’s Prayer in the Gospel of Luke.
Book | Chapter | Verse | Sum |
42 | 11 | 2 | 55 |
42 | 11 | 3 | 56 |
42 | 11 | 4 | 57 |
| | | 168 |
Conclusion: When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we petition the Father to spiritually nourishes us with the Bread of Life (the Word of God and the Body of Christ).
