John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:58

Verse 58 58.This is the bread which came down from heaven. He returns to the comparison between the manna and his flesh, with which he had begun; for it was necessary that he should close the sermon in this manner: “There is no reason why you should prefer Moses to me, because he fed your fathers in the wilderness; since I supply you with far more excellent food, for I bring heavenly life with me.” For — as was formerly said — the bread is said to have come down from heaven, because it has... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:59

Verse 59 59.He spoke these things in the synagogue. John points out the place, that we may know that there were many present, and likewise, that a sermon was delivered as on a weighty and important subject. But it immediately follows that out of so great a multitude there were scarcely to be found a very few who profited by it; and — what is worse — it proved to be the occasion of desertion to many who professed to be disciples of Christ. If the Evangelist had said that only some of them were... read more

(3) The sequel of the signs . The discussion which follows is closely linked with these two great miracles of power and love. It naturally arises out of them, and refers with great explicitness to the former of them and to its true meaning. The discussion does unquestionably alter its scope as it proceeds, and at John 6:41 and John 6:52 "the Jews" take up a controversy which had previously been conducted by a portion of the crowd who witnessed his mighty works. Jesus declared (1) ... read more

The increasing difficulties of Jewish unbelief. The further teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum only developed the more decidedly the unbelieving temper of the Galilaeans. I. THE STRIFE AMONG THE JEWS . "The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can he give us his flesh to eat?" 1 . Some of them evidently were in his favour, and understood his words in their true sense ; but the majority were as evidently opposed to him. 2 . Those who are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:56

He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I (dwell) in him . This mutual indwelling is illustrated elsewhere ( John 15:1-5 ) by the image of the vine and its branches. The vine abides in the branch in the virtue of its life-giving forces. Cut away from the parent stem, it can do nothing. Fruitlessness condemns and fire consumes it. The branch abides in the vine, as deriving all its worth, its true place, its possibility of growth and fruit, from the vine (cf.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:57

Here is the grandest assertion of all. Christ began by speaking of himself as the Bread of God, as the life-giving Bread, as the living Bread of human souls. He made it then clear that he was this by reason of his Divine humanity given for the life of the world. He added to this that he was specially to be appropriated and accepted as a sacrifice, as the death sacrifice, involved in his giving his flesh for the life of the world. The power conferred by his death in life and life in death for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:58

Here the Lord returns once more to the starting point of the discourse. This is the bread that came down from heaven (cf. John 6:50 , John 6:51 ). Already he had said, "I am the living Bread that came down from heaven," and he has expanded the statement to show how much was contained or involved in eating it. He has, moreover, emphasized the two sides of his offer of himself to the world, and shown how the twofold reception of beth sides becomes a thorough acceptance of himself, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:59

These things —probably referring to the discourse which followed upon the contest and discussion of the Jews among themselves ( John 6:52-58 ), or it may include the entire discussion from John 6:40 onwards— he said in synagogue (or, in a synagogue ) , as he was teaching in Capernaum. Capernaum is thus distinctly verified as the place whither the multitudes had followed him. It was, as we learn from the synoptists, his second and habitual home in Galilee. In Warren's 'Recovery... read more
