John 6:50 NIV

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 6:50

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven ,.... Namely, that of which he had spoken John 6:32 , meaning himself: that a man may eat thereof, and not die ; for this heavenly bread is soul quickening, soul strengthening, and soul satisfying food; nor can there be any want where this is: eating of it is not to be understood corporeally, as these Capernaites took it; nor sacramentally, as if it was confined to the ordinance of the Lord's supper, which was not, as yet, instituted; but... read more

(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

(c) The murmur of the Jews met by additional claim that his " flesh " is the " living bread ." The passage here following resumes the narrative of the impression produced by the extraordinary discourse that had preceded. The question of "the Jews" does not turn at all upon the explanation he had just given to his disciples in John 6:36-40 , but goes back to the theme of John 6:29-36 . "The Jews" need not be restricted to the Jewish or the aristocratic or bigoted portion... read more

Our Lord's explanation of Jewish unbelief. A rupture was clearly near at hand. I. THE MURMURING OF THE JEWS . "The Jews then murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the Bread which came down from heaven." It sprang: 1 . Partly from doubt . ( John 7:12 .) 2 . Partly from contemptuous surprise . 3 . Partly from dissatisfaction . II. THE GROUND OF THEIR MURMURING . "And they said, Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, whose father and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:49-50

Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died. The Lord went back to the very words of the Jews in John 6:31 . The Heaven-given manna by which Jehovah sustained the temporal life of the fathers in the wilderness did not convey the antidote to death. "The carcases [of these fathers] fell in the wilderness." He does not say, "perished out of God's sight forever," or were condemned, but that there was nothing in the eating of manna which arrested, or averted, or triumphed,... read more

John 6:48-50. I am the bread of life Jesus, having explained the nature of the dignity which he had claimed in the foregoing part of his discourse, (John 6:33-40,) and demonstrated that it really belonged to him, here repeats what he had said John 6:35, and then runs a comparison between himself, considered as the bread from heaven, and the manna which Moses provided for their fathers in the desert, and which they admired so greatly, saying, Your fathers did eat manna, and are dead The... read more

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
