The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:22-59
(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 Pulpit Commentary - John 6:34-40
The divergence between the thoughts of Jesus and those of the Jews. A rupture was clearly at hand. The people had hopes of merely material blessing. I. THE JEWS ASK FOR THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN . "Lord, evermore give us this bread." 1 . They ask for a continuous supply of it . 2 . Their demand betrays a carnal spirit, that speaks of either sensual want, or covetousness, or the spirit of idleness; for no more labour would be expended upon the production of food.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:36
But I told you —I said unto you— that you have both seen me, and believe me not ; or "that you have seen me, and yet believe not." Some difficulty has arisen from our not being able to find, in the previous dialogue, the exact words here quoted. Some have supposed it to refer to an unrecorded conversation (Alford, Westcott), or even to some written sentence which is now a lost fragment of the discourse. Meyer says (without answering the suggestions of Olshausen, Hengstenberg, Godet, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:37
Many suppose a time of stillness, a break in the conversation, "a significant asyndeton, " from the absence of all connection between this and the previous verse. John 6:39 , John 6:40 would seem to have been addressed more directly to the disciples, the less susceptible hearers retiring from him or engaging in eager conversation (cf. John 6:41 ). Nevertheless, the Lord takes up the continuous line of his self-revelation, and John 6:37 clearly refers the "non-coming" and... read more

The Father's will and its Executor. We see: 1 . That the majority of Christ 's hearers disbelieved him . His verdict at last was, "Ye believe not;" "Ye will not come." 2 . That they disbelieved him in spite of the greatest advantages to faith . ( John 6:36 .) 3 . That in spite of their obstinate unbelief and cruel rejection, the gracious purposes of God and the mission of Jesus will not be void . "For all that the Father giveth me," etc. Notice— I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:38
Because I came down from heaven (cf. John 3:13 ), not that I might do my own will, but the will of him that sent me (see John 5:19 , John 5:30 , notes). The practical, ethical force of this statement is to shape and defend the previous assurance. Christ's gracious reception and benediction is in willing harmony with, and not in opposition to, the Father's heart. There is no schism between the Father and Son. A separate will in and of itself assigned to the Son is not inconceivable,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:46
Verse 46 46.Not that any man hath seen the Father. As he has hitherto magnified the grace of his Father, so now he earnestly directs believers to himself alone. For both must be joined together; that no knowledge of Christ can be obtained, until the Father enlighten by his Spirit those who are by nature blind; and yet that it is in vain to seek God, unless Christ go before; for the majesty of God is so lofty, that the senses of men cannot reach him. Nay, more, all that knowledge of God which... read more
