The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:62

The Ascension foretold. The aim of our Lord's conversation with the Jews was to convince those who were prepared for the revelation, that he was the Divine Mediator, and that union with him was the one hope of salvation for sinful men. An inferior claim he could not have made. Yet this assertion of his power and dignity was an offence to many who heard the Saviour's language, and who could not believe that the lowly Nazarene occupied a place so exalted in the counsels of the Eternal.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth (the τὸ , though omitted by )*, is retained by all the principal editors); the flesh profiteth nothing; i . e . the "flesh" taken by itself, and apart from the life-giving Spirit which is its principium. The antithesis between "flesh" and "spirit" occurs frequently in the Gospel, and is one of the great points of Pauline doctrine. The Lord does not introduce the pronoun μου to τὸ πνεῦμα or ἡ σάρξ . The statement is generalized, though... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:63

The flesh and the Spirit. Our Lord here teaches a great lesson which he several times repeated in the course of his ministry, and which is most emphatically inculcated by the Apostle Paul, especially in his Epistles to the Corinthians. There are two different principles of religion—one carnal, i . e . earthly and human; the other spiritual, i . e . heavenly and Divine; and of these the second is the true and satisfactory principle. "The flesh profiteth nothing"—the religion which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:64

But, he adds, there are some of you that believe not . "Some," not many, who were following him yet felt that they could not trust—could not accept his greatest revelations, these Divine assumptions, this spiritual position of his. The Divine humanity, the offered life, the cruel death, of the Son of God, the victory over death, the return to the Father, when put into words or when taught in metaphors even, were grounds of offence. The evangelist adds: For (the γάρ introduces the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 6:62

What and if ... - Jesus does not say that those who were then present would see him ascend, but he implies that he would ascend. They had taken offence because he said he came down from heaven. Instead of explaining that away, he proceeds to state another doctrine quite as offensive to them - that he would reascend to heaven. The apostles only were present at his ascension, Acts 1:9. As Jesus was to ascend to heaven, it was clear that he could not have intended literally that they should eat... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 6:63

It is the Spirit that quickeneth - These words have been understood in different ways. The word “Spirit,” here, evidently does not refer to the Holy Spirit, for he adds, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit.” He refers here, probably, to the doctrine which he had been teaching in opposition to their notions and desires. “My doctrine is spiritual; it is fitted to quicken and nourish the soul. It is from heaven. Your doctrine or your views are earthly, and may be called flesh, or... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 6:61-65

John 6:61-65. When Jesus knew Greek, ειδως δε ο Ιησους εν εαυτω , Jesus knowing in himself; that his disciples murmured at it Though they did not speak out their objections and scruples; said, Doth this, which you have just now heard, offend you And do you stumble at it as incredible? What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up Αναβαινοντα , ascending; where he was before? How much more incredible will it then appear to you, that he should give you his flesh to eat? Or, will not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 6:60-71

68. Words of eternal life (John 6:60-71)Many of the people who followed Jesus found his teaching about the bread of life hard to understand. Jesus told them that if they had difficulty believing this, they would be positively amazed when they saw him going bodily back to heaven. Their difficulties arose because they were thinking only of physical flesh and blood, and failed to see the spiritual truths they illustrated. They still did not understand how eternal life could result from Jesus’... read more
