Holy Scripture
Isaiah 40:6
A church father on this verse
“And [Christ] commanded all the multitudes to sit down on the grass because of what is said in Isaiah, "All flesh is grass." That is to say, he commanded them to subjugate the flesh and to keep in subjection "the mind of the flesh," so that one might be able to partake of the loaves that Jesus blesses.”

8but the word of our God abides forever.
