Food from Jesus himself (5)
I believe the answer is:
sushi
'food' is the definition.
(sushi is a kind of food)
'from jesus himself' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SUSHI' can be found hidden inside 'jesus himself'.
(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "fare from Japan" , "Food from Japan" , "put away in Japan" , "Japanese cold rice dish" , "'Dish of rice, vegetables and raw fish (5)'" .)
