The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:68-69

Simon Peter —prominent here, and in John 13:6-11 , John 13:24 , John 13:36 ; John 18:10 ; John 20:2-10 ; John 21:7 , etc.; just as he is in the synoptic Gospels (see portrait of St. Peter, Introduction v III . 3 (4))—[then £ ] answered him;Lord, to whom shall we go? Perhaps ἀπελευσόμεθα is even stronger than the ὑπάγειν ; Hast thou not drawn us to thyself, and supplied a need and craving which thou hadst first of all excited? Is there any teacher to rival thee?... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 6:68

Simon Peter answered him - With characteristic ardor and promptness. Peter was probably one of the oldest of the apostles, and it was his character to be first and most ardent in his professions.To whom shall we go - This implied their firm conviction that Jesus was the Messiah, and that he alone was able to save them. It is one of Peter’s noble confessions - the instinctive promptings of a pious heart and of ardent love. There was no one else who could teach them. The Pharisees, the Sadducees,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 6:66-69

John 6:66-69. From that time many of his disciples went back This discourse of our Lord was, in all its different branches, so offensive to many, who till now had followed him, and professed to be his disciples, that, from this time, they ceased to attend on or hear him. So that he now began to purge his floor: the proud and careless were driven away, and those only remained who were meet for the Master’s use. Then said Jesus unto the twelve Jesus, perceiving this defection to be very... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 6:60-71

68. Words of eternal life (John 6:60-71)Many of the people who followed Jesus found his teaching about the bread of life hard to understand. Jesus told them that if they had difficulty believing this, they would be positively amazed when they saw him going bodily back to heaven. Their difficulties arose because they were thinking only of physical flesh and blood, and failed to see the spiritual truths they illustrated. They still did not understand how eternal life could result from Jesus’... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 6:68

Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.Here, in Peter's answer, was the secret of why many defected that day, and a few did not. It was not that God in some imperial, inscrutable election, before all time and eternity, had decreed that some should go and others stay. Far from it! Peter had regard to the word of God which Jesus was teaching; and that word was the anchor that held Peter, despite the fact that the metaphor must have shocked him as... read more

John 6:67-69. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, &c.— On occasion of this great apostacyamong the disciples, our Lord, for the trial of the faithof the twelve apostles, and to give them a proper opportunity of professing it, said, in an affectionate and moving manner to them, See how many have forsaken me! will ye also follow their example? tell me what are the thoughts and purposes of your hearts about this matter. Then St. Peter replied, in the name of all, as in charity believing that they... read more

68. Then Simon Peter—whose forwardness in this case was noble, and to the wounded spirit of His Lord doubtless very grateful. Lord, to whom, c.—that is, "We cannot deny that we have been staggered as well as they, and seeing so many go away who, as we thought, might have been retained by teaching a little less hard to take in, our own endurance has been severely tried, nor have we been able to stop short of the question, Shall we follow the rest, and give it up? But when it came to this, our... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:68-69

Typically, Peter spoke for the Twelve. "Lord" (Gr. kurios) can mean simply "sir," but here it probably has a deeper meaning. These disciples were reaffirming their allegiance to the One whom Peter now identified as the Holy One of God (cf. Psalms 16:10; Isaiah 41:14; Isaiah 43:3; Isaiah 47:4; Isaiah 48:17; Mark 1:24; Luke 4:34). Peter probably did not mean that they viewed Jesus as their last resort but that Jesus was their only hope. They believed that Jesus’ teachings resulted in eternal life... read more
