John 6:40

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:26-40

John 6:26-Matthew : . The Desire for a Sign: the True Manna.— After raising their expectations He had refused to go forward. In answer to their surprise at finding Him so soon across the lake He tells them why. Their hopes are confined to the material. They must seek the higher food, which leads to true life. They ask what they are to do. Believe in God’ s Messenger. But He has refused to act as God’ s Messiah. By what sign will He justify His claim to their faith? Will He give the new manna... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 6:40

Our Lord having asserted the will of God, as to the final issue and happiness of believers, goes on to assert the means by which, in this life using, they must obtain this life: those are, seeing the Son, and believing in him; seeing him, not with the eyes of their bodies, or seeing his miraculous operations, both which these Capernaites did, and yet did not believe, (as he told them, John 6:36), but a seeing them with the eye of their minds, discerning him as the Messiah, and Saviour of the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 6:22-65

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 6:22-24. None other boat, rather little ship (πλοιάριον).—The meaning of this long and complicated sentence is plain. A number of the crowd who had been present when the bread was miraculously supplied had remained at or near the spot where the miracle was wrought. They wished to see more of Jesus, to get hold of Him for the carrying out of their purpose (John 6:15). They had seen the disciples depart, but not the Saviour. In the morning, however, when Jesus... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 6:1-71

Now we have an indeterminate rate of time. Jesus was in Jerusalem when He was saying these things, they were as a result of this blind man...or the lame man, rather, who was healed there at the pool of Bethesda. And the controversy that was stirred over that. And so John spends a whole chapter in that little picture, but it gives us marvelous insight into Jesus, showing how that He equates His work with the Father and He is working in harmony with the Father. He is actually here doing the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 6:1-71

John 6:2 . A great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles. But being dull of apprehension, they seemed to have no idea that the Lord could feed the hungry, as well as heal the sick. Christ rises in the eye of faith as it discovers the glory of his person. John 6:7 . Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient. William Budæus was a native of Paris, and of very rare erudition. He has left many books in Greek and Latin, much cited by the learned. He measured the ark of... read more

More than thirty times in this one discourse does He use the personal pronouns “Me” and “I,” in such connections as that it would be blasphemy if He were anything less than really God.
