John 6:22-46 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 6:22-27

In these verses we have, I. The careful enquiry which the people made after Christ, John 6:23, 24. They saw the disciples go to sea; they saw Christ retire to the mountain, probably with an intimation that he desired to be private for some time; but, their hearts being set upon making him a king, they way-laid his return, and the day following, the hot fit of their zeal still continuing, 1. They were much at a loss for him. He was gone, and they knew not what was become of him. They saw there... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:22-27

6:22-27 On the next day, the crowd which was still standing on the far side of the sea, saw that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gone into the boat with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away alone. But some boats from Tiberias put in near the place where they had eaten the bread, after the Lord had given thanks. So when they saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples either, they embarked on the boats, and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. When they... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:28-29

6:28-29 They said to him: "What are we to do to work the works of God?" Jesus answered: "This is the work of God, to believe in him whom he has sent." When Jesus spoke about the works of God, the Jews immediately thought in terms of "good" works. It was their conviction that a man by living a good life could earn the favour of God. They held that men could be divided into three classes--those who were good, those who were bad and those who were in between, who, by doing one more good work,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:30-34

6:30-34 They said to him: "What sign are you going to perform that we may see it and believe in you? What is your work? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it stands written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" Jesus said to them: "This is the truth I tell you--Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the real bread from heaven. The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." They said to him: "Sir, always give us... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:35-40

6:35-40 Jesus said to them: "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst any more. But I tell you, though you have seen me, yet you do not believe in me. All that the Father gives me will come to me, because I came down from heaven, not to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me--that I should lose none of those he gave to me, but that I should raise them all up on the last day. This... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:41-51

6:41-51a So the Jews kept murmuring about him, because he said: "I am the bread which came down from heaven." They kept saying: "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say: 'I have come down from heaven'?" Jesus answered: "Stop murmuring to each other. No one can come to me except the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. It stands written in the prophets: 'And all will be taught by God.' Everyone who has listened... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:22

The day following ,.... The day after that, in which the miracle of feeding live thousand men with five loaves and two fishes was done: the morning after the disciples had had such a bad voyage: when the people which stood on the other side of the sea ; from that in which the disciples now were, being landed at Capernaum; that is, they stood on that side, or shore, where they took shipping, near Bethsaida and Tiberias: here, after they were dismissed by Christ, they stood all night,... read more

Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias ,.... A city by the sea side, built by Herod, and called so in honour of Tiberius Caesar; though the Jews give a different etymology of it; they say, it is the same with Rakkath, Joshua 19:35 , and that it was a fortified place from the days of Joshua, and that on one side, ימה חומתה , "the sea was its wall" F4 T. Bab. Megilla, fol. 5. 2. & Hieros. Megilla, fol. 70. 1. : and so Jonathan the Targumist on Deuteronomy 3:17 says,... read more

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there ,.... At the sea side, at the usual place of taking boat; and having reason to think he was not on that side of the lake, but was gone from thence: neither his disciples ; when they found that there were neither of them there, but both were gone, and considering that it was to no purpose for them to stay there: they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus ; they might observe, that the disciples steered their... read more

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea ,.... At Capernaum, and in the synagogue there; see John 6:59 . They said unto him, Rabbi ; or "master", a name now much in use with the Jewish doctors, and by which they delighted to be called; and these men being convinced by the miracle, that Christ was that prophet that should come, honour him with this title, saying, when camest thou hither ? since he did not go with his disciples, and there was no other boat that went... read more
