John 6:48

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:41-50

The Life-Giving Bread Is For Those Drawn by the Father And He Will Give His Flesh For The Life Of The World (John 6:41-50 ). At this point there would appear to be an important change in the narrative. Up to this point it had been ‘the people’ who have been questioning Him. Now the scene moves on. “ The people” fade into the background and He finds Himself dealing with “the Judaisers”. This is John’s term regularly used for the Jewish authoritarians, and especially for a hard core of them who... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:47-50

“In very truth I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from Heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.” The Pharisees believed that by reading and assiduously obeying the Law of Moses they would find eternal life by being established in the covenant. Jesus informed them that eternal life was rather to be found now by believing in Him. It was response to Him that would... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:41-51

John 6:41-Colossians : . The Murmuring of the “ Jews.”— The changes of persons here ( cf. John 6:22, the multitude), and of place in John 6:59, show that this chapter is not intended to record a continuous conversation, but to give specimens of Christ’ s teaching as the author has come to see its meaning, of objections raised and how they were answered. Jesus’ claims are challenged on the ground of His lowly origin ( cf. Luke 4:22, Mark 6:3). The answer takes up the thought of John... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 6:22-65

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 6:22-24. None other boat, rather little ship (πλοιάριον).—The meaning of this long and complicated sentence is plain. A number of the crowd who had been present when the bread was miraculously supplied had remained at or near the spot where the miracle was wrought. They wished to see more of Jesus, to get hold of Him for the carrying out of their purpose (John 6:15). They had seen the disciples depart, but not the Saviour. In the morning, however, when Jesus... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 6:48

John 6:48 I. It is in the Lord himself alone that the power of life dwells, and from Him that it goes forth. There is no intermediate agent. He is the life of men, and it is by feeding on Himself that eternal life is both obtained and assured. But as in the miracle, so in this which is signified by it, He is pleased to impart this nourishment of life not without visible and sensible material, on which His life-giving power will be exercised. In the one case, it is the five loaves and the two... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 6:1-71

Now we have an indeterminate rate of time. Jesus was in Jerusalem when He was saying these things, they were as a result of this blind man...or the lame man, rather, who was healed there at the pool of Bethesda. And the controversy that was stirred over that. And so John spends a whole chapter in that little picture, but it gives us marvelous insight into Jesus, showing how that He equates His work with the Father and He is working in harmony with the Father. He is actually here doing the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 6:1-71

John 6:2 . A great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles. But being dull of apprehension, they seemed to have no idea that the Lord could feed the hungry, as well as heal the sick. Christ rises in the eye of faith as it discovers the glory of his person. John 6:7 . Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient. William Budæus was a native of Paris, and of very rare erudition. He has left many books in Greek and Latin, much cited by the learned. He measured the ark of... read more

John 6:41-51The Jews then murmured at Him because He said, I am the bread which came down from heavenWeighty truthsI.THAT CHRIST’S LOWLY CONDITION IS A STUMBLING-BLOCK TO THE NATURAL MAN. 1. Had He come as a conqueror with royal favours for His followers they would have received Him willingly; but their pride refused to believe that the lowly prophet was from God. 2. There is nothing surprising in this. It is human nature showing itself in its true colours (1 Corinthians 1:23). Thousands reject... read more

John 6:47-58He that believeth on Me hath everlasting lifeEverlasting lifeI.THE BLESSING, “everlasting life.” Everlasting life was never proposed in the schools of philosophy to the faith of man, or urged as a principle or motive to holiness. Those who taught were not sure of it themselves. What does it mean? We may take three views of it. 1. It is opposed to eternal death. Eternal death does not mean annihilation or destruction of being, bat of well-being, of happiness and of hope. So eternal... read more
