Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:66
His disciples at large, so called because they followed him, partly to hear what he would say, partly to see his miracles, followed him no more. Many professors and seeming disciples of Christ may draw back and fall from their profession, though none that truly receive Christ shall fall away, but be by the power of God preserved through faith unto salvation. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:67
It is probable that some stayed besides the twelve, for it is said only that many of his disciples turned back. Nor was our Saviour (who knew the hearts of all) ignorant what they would do; but he had a mind both to try them by this question, and also to convince them that there was a false brother amongst them, whose wickedness (though it lay hid from them) would in a short time discover itself. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:68
Peter, who is observed in the whole history of the gospel to have discovered the hottest and quickest spirit, and to have been first in answering questions propounded to the twelve, as Matthew 16:16, &c., replies, Lord, to whom shall we go? &c., thereby teaching us under temptations to apostasy, first, to consider what we shall get by it, as the following words teach us, that an abiding with Christ in a steady adherence to the truths of his gospel, is the best choice that we can make. 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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 6:66-71
EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 6:69. And we believe and are sure that Thou art the Holy One of God.—This is the reading of all the great MSS. א, B, C, D, L, and is adopted by Tischendorf, Tregelles, etc. If this reading is to be received, we are probably to understand Peter’s confession as referring to Jesus as sent into the world to do the Father’s will, and as having His authority sealed by His mighty works and holy life.John 6:70. Hath a devil.—διάβολός ἐστιν, i.e. one having the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 6:66-67
John 6:66-67 Forsaken ideal This sorrowful appeal from the less noble but natural feelings of the twelve to their very highest and most spiritual thoughts was not in this case in vain. The appeal "Will ye also go away?" revealed the higher nature of the Apostles, perhaps even to themselves; showed them that there was something within themselves beyond the judgment of the many, and of the worldly wise, which, without arrogance, could judge more forcibly, more wisely; enabled them to see more... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 6:66-71
John 6:66-71 The First Confession In connection with this narrative many practical lessons suggest themselves. I select only the following: I. We are reminded by this history of the fluctuating character of human applause. II. We are shown the tap-root from which all apostasy springs. Judas put temporal interests uppermost. The apostates were all wedded to the world. III. The elements of Christian steadfastness. (1) The setting of spiritual things above temporal. (2) The experimental knowledge... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 6:67-70
John 6:67-70 The Danger of Relapse I. Experience has so often proved that men have not laid fast hold on the grace which they had received, that we may well conceive our Lord to say to each successive congregation who have professed to be His disciples, "Will ye also go away? For eighteen hundred years I have accomplished the work of man's redemption. Your salvation has been purchased, the door of the kingdom of heaven has been set open, but yet, age after age and year after year, men have... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:64
I may say what I will to you; the Spirit quickeneth, but it doth not quicken all; it only quickeneth whomsoever it pleaseth. You understand not these things, but have most gross conceptions of sublime spiritual things; the reason is, because you believe not: though some of them, questionless, did truly believe, yet the most did not; for we read, John 6:66, that many of them went back, and walked no more with him. And though faith be an inward, secret act of the soul, yet Christ knew, and from... read more
