João 6:26-59

Second great discourse of Jesus to the hostile Jews, John 6:26-59.

Now commences a great oration of Jesus founded on the temper of this set of people, the miracle of their feeding, and the wonder of his walking on the water. Their temper regarded their view of his miracles. The Samaritans embraced Jesus not for miracle but for his sublime and holy doctrine; Nicodemus based on his miracles a need of proceeding to a deeper experience; but this populace, apparently destitute of any moral susceptibility, look to his miracles as a means of livelihood. Their traits of character appear specially in John 6:26; John 6:42-43; John 6:52.
