Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:49

Your fathers by nature, or in respect of unbelief, did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are naturally dead; (manna would not always preserve their natural life); and those of them who were unbelievers, are also dead eternally; their eating of manna, which was a type of me, without believing in me, would not save them. 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

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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 6:49

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. Ver. 49. Did eat manna ] They fed upon sacraments, and yet many of them perished eternally. A man may go to hell with font water on his face, and be haled from the table to the tormentor, as he, Matthew 22:13 . Your fathers did eat, &c. ] They sought only the satisfying of their bodily hunger, and they had it, but yet are dead. Manna could not immortalize them, as the poets feign their ambrosia did their dunghill deities.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 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... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:47-59

Reception of the body and blood of Christ, John 6:47-59. This paragraph is celebrated in what is called the Sacramentarian controversy. It will be made clear, perhaps, by viewing it in three parts: I. Joh 6:47-50 . Here Jesus gives the key to the whole paragraph, by explicitly showing that what the manna was to the fathers who received it by eating, that Himself is to the souls of all who receive him by faith. The manna was temporal life to Israel; He is eternal life to all believers.... read more
