The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:37-40
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. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:38
Because I came down from heaven (cf. John 3:13 ), not that I might do my own will, but the will of him that sent me (see John 5:19 , John 5:30 , notes). The practical, ethical force of this statement is to shape and defend the previous assurance. Christ's gracious reception and benediction is in willing harmony with, and not in opposition to, the Father's heart. There is no schism between the Father and Son. A separate will in and of itself assigned to the Son is not inconceivable,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:39
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. The claim of a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:40
For £ this is the will of my Father £ (or, of him that sent me ), that every one ( πᾶς , instead of the πᾶν of John 6:37 , John 6:39 ), treated separately and individually, who beholdeth—i . e . steadily and continuously contemplates— the Son (here he identifies himself with the revelation of the sonship in his own Person) and believeth on him — i . e . entrusts himself in a full moral surrender to the Son (the εἰς αὐτόν must be here especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:41
The Jews therefore murmured concerning him . Perhaps in John 7:32 γογγύζειν means simply "whisper;" but throughout the New Testament ( 1 Corinthians 10:10 ; Luke 5:30 , with πρός ; Matthew 20:11 , with κατὰ ; cf. Acts 6:1 ; Philippians 2:14 ; 1 Peter 4:9 ; Wis. 1:10) it has the malevolent meaning conveyed in the LXX . It is used to denote very rebellious feelings against God ( Exodus 16:7-9 ; Numbers 11:1 ; Numbers 14:27 ). The Attic writers used ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:41-51
(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

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:41-51
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 6:42
They were saying ( ἔλεγον )—the one to the other, murmuring in critical and angry mood, and not necessarily in his hearing; for he did not reply to their express assertion, and proceeded rather to enlarge and reiterate the great theme which he had already deduced in the hearing of his disciples. Weiss (vol. John 3:6 ) thinks that John has here introduced an amplification which belongs to a totally different connection. Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph— (cf. John 1:46 ; Luke... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:37
Many suppose a time of stillness, a break in the conversation, "a significant asyndeton, " from the absence of all connection between this and the previous verse. John 6:39 , John 6:40 would seem to have been addressed more directly to the disciples, the less susceptible hearers retiring from him or engaging in eager conversation (cf. John 6:41 ). Nevertheless, the Lord takes up the continuous line of his self-revelation, and John 6:37 clearly refers the "non-coming" and... read more
