Contextual Overview
28 "What exactly does God want us to do?" the people asked. 29 Jesus answered, "God wants you to have faith in the one he sent." 30 They replied, "What miracle will you work, so that we can have faith in you? What will you do? 31 For example, when our ancestors were in the desert, they were given manna to eat. It happened just as the Scriptures say, ‘God gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" 32 Jesus then told them, "I tell you for certain that Moses wasn't the one who gave you bread from heaven. My Father is the one who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 And the bread that God gives is the one who came down from heaven to give life to the world." 34 The people said, "Lord, give us this bread and don't ever stop!" 35 Jesus replied: I am the bread that gives life! No one who comes to me will ever be hungry. No one who has faith in me will ever be thirsty. 36 I have told you already that you have seen me and still do not have faith in me. 37 Everything and everyone that the Father has given me will come to me, and I won't turn any of them away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This is that bread which came down from heaven,.... That true bread, the bread of God, the bread of life, living bread; meaning himself, as in John 6:32;
not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: this is bread of a quite different nature from that; that was only typical bread, this true; that was the bread of angels, but this is the bread of God; that came but from the air, this from the third heaven; that men ate of, and died; but whoever eats of this, lives for ever; see John 6:49; as follows:
he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever;
John 6:49- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This is that bread ... - This is the true bread that came down. The word “that” should not be in the translation.
Shall live for ever - Not on the earth, but in the enjoyments of a better world.
