Contextual Overview

28 Then they said to Him, What may we do that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe into Him whom that One sent. 30 Then they said to Him, Then what miraculous sign do You do that we may see and may believe You? What do You work? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written "He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat." LXX-Psa. 77:24; MT-Psa. 78:24 32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He coming down out of Heaven and giving life to the world. 34 Then they said to Him, Lord, always give us this bread. 35 Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of life; the one coming to Me will not at all hunger, and the one believing into Me will not thirst, never! 36 But I said to you that you also have seen Me and did not believe. 37 All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and the one coming to Me I will in no way cast out.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

John 6:32, John 6:34, John 6:41, John 6:47-51

Reciprocal: Exodus 16:15 - It is manna John 4:14 - shall never John 6:27 - which endureth John 6:50 - that Romans 10:6 - to bring Ephesians 4:9 - he also 1 John 2:17 - abideth

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.
