John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:28

Then said they unto him ,.... Understanding by what he said, that they must labour and work, though not for perishing food, yet for durable food; and as they imagined, in order to obtain eternal life by working: what shall we do that we might work the works of God ? Such as are agreeable to his will, are acceptable to him, and well pleasing in his sight: they seem to intimate, as if they desired to know whether there were any other works of this kind, than what Moses had directed them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:29

Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God ,.... The main and principal one, and which is well pleasing in his sight; and without which it is impossible to please him; and without which no work whatever is a good work; and this is of the operation of God, which he himself works in men; it is not of themselves, it is the pure gift of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent ; there are other works which are well pleasing to God, when rightly performed, but faith is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:30

They said therefore unto him ,.... Seeing he proposed believing in him as the grand work of God to be done, and what is most acceptable in his sight: what sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee ? The people of the Jews were always requiring signs and wonders, and when they had one and another shown them, they still sought for more, and were never satisfied; see Matthew 12:39 . These men had lately seen various signs and miracles of Christ, as healing the sick, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:31

Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness ,.... Which was a sort of food prepared by angels in the air, and rained down from thence about the tents of the Israelites; it was a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground; it was like a coriander seed, and the colour of it was the colour of bdellium: it was so called, either from מנה , "to prepare", because it was prepared, and got ready for the Israelites; or from the first words that were spoken upon sight of it, מן הו... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:32

Then Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you ,.... It is truth, and may be depended on, whether it will be believed or not: Moses gave you not that bread from heaven ; in which Christ denies that that bread, or manna, did come from heaven; that is, from the highest heavens, only from the air, and was not such celestial bread he after speaks of, and which came down from the heaven of heavens: and moreover, he denies that Moses gave them that bread; it was the Lord that gave... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:33

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven ,.... In the way and manner just now mentioned: and which clearly points out Christ himself, who may be called "the bread of God"; to distinguish him from common bread, and to show the excellency of him, and that he is of God's providing and giving, and which he would have his children feed upon: and giveth life unto the world ; a spiritual life, which he is the author, supporter, and maintainer of; and eternal life, which he gives... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:34

Then said they unto him ,.... At least some of them: Lord, evermore give us this bread ; that is so divine and heavenly, and has such a quickening virtue in it: these words are said by them either seriously, and to be understood of bread for their bodies, of which they imagined Christ was speaking; and so sprung from ignorance of his sense; and from sensuality in them who followed him for the loaves; and from a covetous disposition, being desirous of being supplied with such excellent... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:22

The people which stood on the other side - ἙϚηκως περαν της θαλασσης , Standing by the sea side. The people were not on the other side, i.e. in Perea, as our version states, but on that side where Bethsaida lay: see the notes on Matthew 14:25 , Matthew 14:34 , and on Mark 6:45 . The Greek word, περαν , says Bishop Pearce, seems to signify in Scripture sometimes on the side of, and sometimes on this side of: see Joshua 5:1 ; and 1 Maccabees 9:34. The Hebrew word אבר abar ,... read more

There came other boats - After Jesus and his disciples had departed. From Tiberias - Herod Antipas built this city near the lake of Genesaret, in the best parts of Galilee, and called it Tiberias, in honor of Tiberius, the Roman emperor: see Jos. Ant. book xviii. chap. 2. sect. 3. read more

They also took shipping - That is, as many of them as could get accommodated with boats took them and thus got to Capernaum; but many others doubtless went thither on foot, as it is not at all likely that five or six thousand persons could get boats enow to carry them. read more
