F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 6:1-99

John 6 THIS CHAPTER BRINGS US back again to Galilee, and we read of another of the great “signs” which Jesus did. The miracle of feeding the five thousand has evidently a special importance, since it is related in each of the four Gospels. Our chapter gives us the teaching, based upon it and relating to it, which makes apparent its significance. The miracle itself is described in such a way as to emphasize the Lord’s resource and foreknowledge. Jesus first addressed Himself to Philip. Now this... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 6:52-59

Life through Christ's sacrifice: v. 52. The Jews, therefore, strove among themselves, saying, How can this Man give us His flesh to eat? v. 53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. v. 54.

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 6:60-65

The Offense of Many Disciples. The disciples murmur: v. 60. Many; therefore, of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? v. 61. When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth this offend you? v. 62. What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before? v. 63. It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are... read more

3. Decisive Declaration Of Christ, And Offence Of Many DisciplesJohn 6:22-65EXEGETICAL AND CRITICAL[After a brief historical introduction, John 6:22-25, John gives that wonderful discourse which unfolds the symbolic meaning of the miraculous feeding of the multitude, namely, the grand truth that Christ is the Bread of everlasting life, which alone can satisfy the spiritual wants of men. It may be divided into four parts, each of which is introduced by an act of the audience and determined by... read more

John THE MANNA Joh_6:48 - Joh_6:50 . ‘This is of a truth that Prophet,’ said the Jews, when Christ had fed the five thousand on the five barley loaves and the two small fishes. That was the kind of Teacher for them; they were quite unaffected by the wisdom of His words and the beauty of His deeds, but a miracle that found food precisely met their wants, and so there was excited an impure enthusiasm, very unwelcome to Jesus. Therefore He withdrew Himself from it, and when the people followed... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 6:41-51

the Food of Eternal Life John 6:41-51 That phrase, the last day, was constantly on the Master’s lips, John 6:39-40 ; John 6:44 ; John 6:54 ; John 12:48 . It is an indefinite expression for those final scenes in which the history of our race is to be consummated through resurrection and judgment. Jesus lays great emphasis on His resurrection as completing His work for those who come to Him. It is not enough to impart eternal life. That would bless the spirit, but leave the body untouched.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 6:52-59

Eat and Live John 6:52-59 In John 6:57 our Lord gives the secret of His inner life. At the beginning of His ministry He told the tempter that man did not live by bread alone, but by God’s Word. Here He goes further and says that He lived not only by the words of God, but by God Himself. There is also this other truth, that each of us is called to exercise toward Christ the same attitude and dependence that He exercised toward the Father. It is impossible by one illustration to set forth the... read more
