John 6:40

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 6:36-46

36-46 The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation. The Father's will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him. No one will come, till Divine grace has subdued, and in part changed his heart; therefore no one who comes will ever be cast out. The gospel finds none willing to be saved in the humbling, holy... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 6:1-99

John 6 THIS CHAPTER BRINGS US back again to Galilee, and we read of another of the great “signs” which Jesus did. The miracle of feeding the five thousand has evidently a special importance, since it is related in each of the four Gospels. Our chapter gives us the teaching, based upon it and relating to it, which makes apparent its significance. The miracle itself is described in such a way as to emphasize the Lord’s resource and foreknowledge. Jesus first addressed Himself to Philip. Now this... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 6:35-40

Jesus the Bread of Life: v. 35. And Jesus said unto them, I am he Bread of Life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. v. 36. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen Me, and believe not. v. 37. All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. v. 38. For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me. v. 39. And this is the Father's will which... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - John 6:22-65

3. Decisive Declaration Of Christ, And Offence Of Many DisciplesJohn 6:22-65EXEGETICAL AND CRITICAL[After a brief historical introduction, John 6:22-25, John gives that wonderful discourse which unfolds the symbolic meaning of the miraculous feeding of the multitude, namely, the grand truth that Christ is the Bread of everlasting life, which alone can satisfy the spiritual wants of men. It may be divided into four parts, each of which is introduced by an act of the audience and determined by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 6:30-40

the Father’s Will Jesus’ Law of Life John 6:30-40 On the day following, our Lord had to encounter, first the demand of the people for a continuation of the miracle of the preceding night, John 6:25-40 ; second, the murmur of “the Jews,” that is, their religious leaders, John 6:41-51 ; third, the growing heat of His opponents, John 6:52-59 ; and lastly, the failure of many of His disciples, John 6:60-71 . But His mountain prayer had prepared Him, John 6:15 . The manna was only a type of His... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 6:1-71

The whole chapter really records things resulting from the conflict recorded in the previous one. Having crossed the sea, Jesus first fed the multitude, and they, enamored of His ability, attempted to take Him by force, and make Him King. This He would not permit. Sending His disciples across the sea He retired to the mountain. Then followed the wonder -recorded also by Matthew and Mark--of His stilling of the storm. Thus it will be seen that He returned to where the conflict had occurred, and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 6:33-56

The Bread of Life John 6:33-56 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When the devil said to Christ. "If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread," the Lord quickly unsheathed the sword of the Spirit as found in Deuteronomy 8:1-3 , and replied, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." 1. We have superiority of the spiritual man to the natural man. Shall we feed the natural, the physical man, at the cost of the decadence and neglect of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:26-40

Words to The Crowds (John 6:26-40 ). Jesus’ initial words were spoken to the crowds who had followed Him. These were the more simple folk whose thoughts were on more food, and miraculous provision. They wanted another Moses who could supply them with food. They were to learn that what Jesus had brought them was more important than food, Himself as the bread of life which they could partake of by coming to Him and believing on Him (John 6:35). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:26-59

The Bread of Life, Eating His Flesh And Drinking His Blood (John 6:26-59 ). The narrative that follows must be carefully divided up if it is to be properly understood. There are in fact three clearly differentiated phases: · The first is to do with the crowd who have come seeking Him (John 6:26-40). In this there is only reference to partaking of the bread of life by coming to Him and believing on Him. The ideas that He promulgates are purely based on the parabolic idea of spiritual bread. ·... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:40

“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him, should have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” Jesus now repeats John 6:39 from a different point of view to emphasise its ideas. In John 6:39 these promises are made to ‘all whom He has given Me’. That is God’s side of the issue. Now we have the other side. The promises are made to ‘every one who sees the Son and believes on Him’. So the ones who see the Son and believe in Him are the... read more
