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.
