THE MESSAGE
Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, "Does this throw you completely? What would happen if you saw the Son of Man ascending to where he came from? The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don't make anything happen. Every word I've spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this." (Jesus knew from the start that some weren't going to risk themselves with him. He knew also who would betray him.) He went on to say, "This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father."

Contextual Overview

60 Then many of His disciples having heard, they said, This Word is hard; who is able to hear it? 61 But knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, Jesus said to them, Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man going up where He was at first? 63 It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh does not profit, nothing! The Words which I speak to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who are not believing. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were, the ones not believing, and who was the one betraying Him. 65 And He said, Because of this, I have told you that no one is able to come to Me except it is given to him from My Father. 66 From this time many of His disciples went away into the things behind, and no longer walked with Him. 67 Therefore, Jesus said to the Twelve, Do you also wish to go? 68 Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of everlasting life. 69 And we have believed and have known that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When Jesus knew in himself,.... And of himself, without any intelligence from others, or hearing what was said, being the omniscient God:

that his disciples murmured at it; at the doctrine he had delivered, looking upon it as absurd, incredible, and contrary to sense and reason:

he said unto them, does this offend you? or trouble you? cannot you get over this? cannot you understand it? or account for it? if not, how will you be able to digest some other things, or reconcile them to your minds, which are less known, and more unexpected, and will appear at first sight more surprising?

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 61. Jesus knew in himself — By giving them this proof that he knew their hearts he also proved that he was God; that he could not be deceived himself, and that it was impossible for him to deceive any; consequently, that the doctrine he taught them must be the truth of God.
