John 6:39,John 6:40

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

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:39

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me ,.... This explains both who he was that sent him; the Father of him, and of his people; whose sending of him does not suppose any change of place, or inequality between them, or disrespect unto him, or compulsion of him, but agreement between them, and love to the persons on whose account he was sent; and also what is the will he came to do, and is what was declared by him to Christ, when he gave the elect to him: for this expresses his... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:39

I should lose nothing - It is the will of God that every soul who believes should continue in the faith, and have a resurrection unto life eternal. But he wills this continuance in salvation, without purposing to force the persons so to continue. God may will a thing to be, without willing that it shall be. Judas was given to Christ by the Father, John 17:12 . The Father willed that this Judas should continue in the faith, and have a resurrection unto life eternal: but Judas sinned and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:39

Verse 39 39.And this is the will of the Father. He now testifies, that this is the design of the Father, that believers may find salvation secured in Christ; from which again it follows, that all who do not profit by the doctrine of the Gospel are reprobate. Wherefore, if we see that it turns to the ruin of many, we have no reason to despond, because those men willingly draw down the evil on themselves. Let us rest satisfied with this, that the Gospel will always have power to gather the elect... 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

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 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.

And this is the will of him £ (the Father) that sent me, that (with reference to) all that he hath given me £ I should not lose ( sc . τὶ ) anything, any fragment of it; i . e . from the entire mass of humanity thus given to me as the guerdon of my sacrificial work, given by the inward working of Divine grace which issues in their coming and reaching me, no solitary soul should be plucked out of my hand—should be let slip away into perdition or destruction.
