約翰福音 6:56-59 CUNPTS

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:59-65

6:59-65 When they had heard this discourse many of his disciples said: "This word is hard! Who is able to listen to it?" Jesus well knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this; so he said to them: "Does this cause you to stumble? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he formerly was? The life-giving power is the Spirit; the flesh is of no help. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some who do not believe." For... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:56

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood ,.... In the sense above given; See Gill on John 6:53 ; dwelleth in me, and I in him . There is a mutual indwelling of Christ, and believers; Christ is the habitation, or dwelling place of his people: there is a secret dwelling in Christ; so the elect of God dwelt in the heart, and in the hands, and arms of Christ from everlasting; and as members in their head in election grace; and representatively in him, as the Mediator of the covenant;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:57

As the living Father hath sent me ,.... Into the world, to be the Saviour of it; not by local motion, but by assumption of human nature; and not against his will, or as having superiority over him; but by joint consent and agreement: the first person in the Godhead is here styled, "the living Father"; not because he is the Father of spirits, of angels, and the souls of men; and the Father of all men by creation, and of saints by adoption; and the Father, or author of all mercies, spiritual... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:58

This is that bread which came down from heaven ,.... That true bread, the bread of God, the bread of life, living bread; meaning himself, as in John 6:32 ; not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead : this is bread of a quite different nature from that; that was only typical bread, this true; that was the bread of angels, but this is the bread of God; that came but from the air, this from the third heaven; that men ate of, and died; but whoever eats of this, lives for ever; see ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:59

These things said he in the synagogue ,.... Openly and publicly, in the place of divine worship, where the Jews resorted for that purpose: as he taught in Capernaum ; his own city, and where there was a synagogue, into which he often went and taught his doctrines, and wrought miracles; see Matthew 3:13 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:56

Dwelleth in me, and I in him - Of all connections and unions, none is so intimate and complete as that which is effected by the digestion of aliments, because they are changed into the very substance of him who eats them; and this our Lord makes the model of that union which subsists between himself and genuine believers. He lives in them, and they in him; for they are made partakers of the Divine nature: 2 Peter 1:4 . To this verse the following addition is made in the Codex Bezae, three... read more

So he that eateth me, even he shall live by me - From which we learn that the union between Christ and his followers shall be similar to that which subsists between God and Christ. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:59

In the synagogue - in Capernaum - From John 6:26 , to this verse, the evangelist gives us the discourse which our Lord preached in the synagogue, in which he was repeatedly interrupted by the Jews; but this gave him the fuller opportunity to proclaim the whole truth relative to his passion and death, to edify the disciples, and confute these gainsayers. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:56

Verse 56 56.He who eateth my flesh. This is another confirmation; for while he alone has life in himself, he shows how we may enjoy it, that is, by eating his flesh; as if he had affirmed that there is no other way in which he can become ours, than by our faith being directed to his flesh. For no one will ever come to Christ as God, who despises him as man; and, therefore, if you wish to have any interest in Christ, you must take care, above all things, that you do not disdain his flesh. ... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:57

Verse 57 57.As the living Father hath sent me. Hitherto Christ has explained the manner in which we must become partakers of life. He now comes to speak of the principal cause, for the first source of life is in the Father. But he meets an objection, for it might be thought that he took away from God what belonged to him, when he made himself the cause of life. He makes himself, therefore, to be the Author of life, in such a manner, as to acknowledge that there was another who gave him what he... read more
