John 6:35, John 6:48 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 6:34-35

John 6:34-35. Then said they, Evermore give us this bread On which it seems our life depends: let us always live upon this heavenly manna. Thus said some of the wiser and better part of them, though they did not yet fully understand his meaning. Jesus said unto them Proceeding to give them a clear and full explication of the important truth he spoke of; I am the bread of life Having life in myself, and giving life to all that believe in me: nor is bread so necessary to the support of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 6:22-59

67. The bread of life (John 6:22-59)Many Jews were determined to find Jesus and make him king. Although he had escaped from them after the feeding of the multitude, they were out the next day looking for him (John 6:22-24).Jesus knew that these people wanted him to be king not because they felt any spiritual need, but because they thought he had magical powers that could supply all their daily needs. He urged them not to think just of physical and temporal blessings, but to seek the spiritual... read more

am the bread of life . A form of expression peculiar to this Gospel. The Figure of speech Metaphor ( App-6 ), which carries over, and asserts that one thing is, i.e. represents the other; thus differing from Simile, and Hypocatastasis ( App-6 ). See App-159 .

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 6:35

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.I am the bread of life ... is one of the seven great "I am's" of John. This is an apt metaphor of God's providing in Christ the means of human redemption. In that age, bread was essential to every meal, the staff of life, a fit emblem of Christ the soul's food.He that believeth on me shall never thirst ... This is parallel to the previous clause and means the same,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 6:34-35

John 6:34-35. Lord, evermore give us this bread.— It is reasonable to imagine, as we have observed a little before, that the people who now heard our Lord were of different characters: many of them, no doubt, were obstinately perverse, heard him with prejudice, and wrested all his words; but others of them might be men of honest dispositions, who listened to his doctrine with pleasure, and were ready to obey it. This latter sort, therefore, having heard him describe the properties of this... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:22-59

3. The bread of life discourse 6:22-59Jesus proceeded to clarify His identity by teaching the crowds and His disciples. He did so by developing the figure of the Bread of Life, which He claimed to be. Jesus used the feeding of the 5,000 as a basis for explaining His identity to the multitudes. He compared Himself to bread."Again, it was a ministry of ’grace and truth’ (John 1:17). In grace, our Lord fed the hungry people; but in truth, He gave them the Word of God." [Note: Wiersbe, 1:310.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:35

Jesus now identified Himself as the bread about which He had been speaking (cf. John 6:47; Isaiah 55:1-2). The Jews regarded the real bread from heaven as the Law. [Note: Edersheim, 2:30.] Jesus did not say He had the bread of life but that He was that bread. He claimed to be able to satisfy completely as bread and water satisfy physically. His hearers did not need to return to Him repeatedly as they had assumed (John 6:34) since He would also satisfy permanently (cf. John 13:9-10). The... read more
