John 6:32-40

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 6:1-71

The whole chapter really records things resulting from the conflict recorded in the previous one. Having crossed the sea, Jesus first fed the multitude, and they, enamored of His ability, attempted to take Him by force, and make Him King. This He would not permit. Sending His disciples across the sea He retired to the mountain. Then followed the wonder -recorded also by Matthew and Mark--of His stilling of the storm. Thus it will be seen that He returned to where the conflict had occurred, and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 6:33-56

The Bread of Life John 6:33-56 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When the devil said to Christ. "If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread," the Lord quickly unsheathed the sword of the Spirit as found in Deuteronomy 8:1-3 , and replied, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." 1. We have superiority of the spiritual man to the natural man. Shall we feed the natural, the physical man, at the cost of the decadence and neglect of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 6:35

SPIRITUAL FOOD‘Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of Life.’ John 6:35 The multitude followed the Lord, and immediately He directed their minds to that deduction which He would have us likewise draw from this fact—the necessity of seeking food not for the body only, but for the whole man, soul and body, who lives not by bread alone, but by grace also. Thus while our Lord’s words damped the zeal of the worldly-minded, whose only object was to use His aid in resisting the Roman power, He at... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 6:37

THE GOLDEN PROMISE‘Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.’ John 6:37 When a penitent sinner ventures to come to the Lord, he is so keenly alive to his condition that a word, a look, would drive him back. This promise, then, is just the strong consolation he wants. It sweeps away every objection and every fear, clears the path for his return, and clasps him at once in the embrace of the Father’s love. I. To some, no doubt, this is a kind of encouragement which you want most.—You... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 6:39

IMPERSONAL RESURRECTION‘And this is the Father’s Will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.’ John 6:39‘Raise up at the last day’ is a phrase repeated four times in this chapter ( John 6:39-Matthew : ; John 6:44 ; John 6:54). The neuter gender of the pronoun is used. Why? Everything that His Father had given our Lord is here viewed as a whole, a kingdom, although it includes individuals mainly. There will... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:26-40

Words to The Crowds (John 6:26-40 ). Jesus’ initial words were spoken to the crowds who had followed Him. These were the more simple folk whose thoughts were on more food, and miraculous provision. They wanted another Moses who could supply them with food. They were to learn that what Jesus had brought them was more important than food, Himself as the bread of life which they could partake of by coming to Him and believing on Him (John 6:35). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:26-59

The Bread of Life, Eating His Flesh And Drinking His Blood (John 6:26-59 ). The narrative that follows must be carefully divided up if it is to be properly understood. There are in fact three clearly differentiated phases: · The first is to do with the crowd who have come seeking Him (John 6:26-40). In this there is only reference to partaking of the bread of life by coming to Him and believing on Him. The ideas that He promulgates are purely based on the parabolic idea of spiritual bread. ·... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:32-33

‘Jesus therefore said to them, “In very truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from Heaven. But my Father is giving you the true bread from Heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world”.’ Jesus’ reply appears to contain two elements. Firstly it informed them that it was God and not Moses who gave them the ‘bread from heaven’. And secondly it pointed out that what was given was not really bread from Heaven at all. While what was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:34

‘They said therefore to him, “Lord, evermore give us this bread continually”.’ They then simply asked Him to provide them with what He was talking about ‘for evermore’. This reply can be taken in two ways. Firstly as indicating their response in line with what they have thought all along, a desire for a continual supply of food from the Messiah. Or, secondly, as an indication that they recognise His meaning and are humbly responding to His words. There were in fact probably people present there... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:35

‘Jesus said to them, ‘I am the life-giving bread (bread of life), the one who comes to me will never hunger and the one who commits himself to me in faith will never thirst.” Now the full meaning of what Jesus was saying is made clear. He was the One Who had come down from Heaven and was offering life to the world, and they must now ‘eat’ continually of Him by coming to Him in full commitment to Him and His teaching, and putting their trust in Him. As they do so their spiritual hunger will be... read more
