Geneva Study Bible - John 6:70

6:70 {16} Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?(16) The number of the professors of Christ is very small, and among them also there are some hypocrites, and those worse than all others. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:1-71

FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND (vs.1-13) The setting here is no longer Jerusalem, but Galilee, and the contrast to the beginning of chapter 5 is striking. For here grace shines out beautifully, available for all, the miracle of the loaves and fishes being a sign to illustrate the gospel of free grace. But the sea of Galilee is called also Tiberias, named for the Roman Emperor, a reminder of Israel's humbling captivity and subjection to Rome. Great crowds follow Him, but not because they are... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 6:1-71

THIRD VISIT TO JUDEA This visit like the second was occasioned by the Passover, and a year later (John 5:6 ). What miracle was wrought on this occasion (5:2-9)? With what effect on the unbelieving Jews (John 5:10-16 )? How does Jesus justify such labor on the Sabbath day (John 5:17 )? On what two-fold ground did His enemies seek to kill Him (John 5:18 )? The latter of these grounds, because he said “God was His Father,” is deeply important. The Revised Version translates it because “He also... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 6:1-71

Coming to Christ Joh 6:2 That word "because" opens the door to a thousand reasons. Every man who does follow Christ follows him for some reason of his own. Woe to the soul that has no Christ, but one that is outward, appointed by some skilled hand, preached by some eloquent tongue, imposed by some lofty authority. That is not Christ at all. Any so-called Christ will wither, will peel off the frescoed wall, will topple on the throne made for him by some cabinet-maker. Every man must lay hold... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 6:22-59

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; (23) Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they did eat bread after that the Lord had given thanks: (24) When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 6:60-65

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying: who can hear it? (61) When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? (62) What, and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (63) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (64) But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 6:66-71

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him (67) Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? (68) Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. (69) And we believe, and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (70) Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? (71) He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 6:71

REFLECTIONS Precious Lord Jesus! while I behold thee, my God and Savior, as set forth in this Chapter, feeding the multitudes with the bread which perisheth with using, and becoming in the same moment to all thy people the living bread, imparting solid, substantial, soul-feeding, soul-nourishing food, for time, and for eternity; Lord, I praise thee for the distinguishing mercy, and beg of my God to excite in my heart such a craving appetite to be fed and nourished in the divine life, as none... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 6:45

Every one, therefore, that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned of him who I am, cometh to me by faith and obedience. As to others, when the Scripture says they are taught by God, this is to be understood of an interior spiritual instruction, which takes place in the soul, and does not fall under the senses; but not less real on that account, because it is the heart, which hears the voice of this invisible teacher. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 6:47

Thus Jesus Christ concludes the first part of his discourse: "Amen, amen, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life;" which shews that faith is a necessary predisposition to the heavenly bread. read more
