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

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 6:46-48

John 6:46-48. Not that any man hath seen the Father,— "When I speak of men's hearing and learning of God, I donot mean that they can see the Deity personally, and be taught of him in the manner that a scholar is taught of his master. No man hath seen the Father personally, except the Son, whom the Father hath sent and whose peculiar privilege it is to have been eternally a full partaker of all the Father's councils. In virtue, therefore, of my intimate union with the Father, and my perfect... 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

Jesus’ identity as the Bread of Life 6:41-51Jesus’ claim to be the Bread of Life that had come down from heaven was something His hearers found hard to accept. Consequently Jesus clarified what He meant further. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:47-48

Jesus introduced His repetition and summary of the essential truth He was teaching with another strong affirmation. This summary continues through John 6:51. He repeated what He had told Nicodemus more concisely (John 3:15). In spite of the truth of the Father’s drawing the elect to Himself it is still imperative that they believe in Jesus. This is the human responsibility. However belief in Jesus is not anything meritorious. It is simply the proper response to God’s working. The result is... read more
