Contextual Overview
28Then they inquired, "What must we do to perform the works of God?" 29Jesus replied, "The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent." 30So they asked Him, "What sign then will You perform, so that we may see it and believe You? What will You do? 31Our forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" 32Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34"Sir," they said, "give us this bread at all times." 35Jesus answered, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. 36But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe. 37Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Jews then murmured at him,.... When they found that he spoke of himself as the true bread, the bread of God, and bread of life, and as descending from heaven: and which was to be fed upon in a spiritual manner by faith, which they were ignorant of, and had no desire unto: and thus being disappointed of the delicious corporeal food they expected, they grew uneasy, and displeased,
because he said I am the bread which came down from heaven; for though, as yet, he had not said this in so many words, and in this direct form, as afterwards, in John 6:51; yet he had said what amounted to it, and which might be easily gathered from John 6:35 The Vulgate Latin reads, "I am the living bread"; and the Persic version, "I am the bread of life". And this last renders the first clause "mocked at him".
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
