(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Not because ye saw signs (ouch hoti eidete sēmeia). Second aorist active indicative of the defective verb horaō. They had seen the “signs” wrought by Jesus (Joh 6:2), but this one had led to wild fanaticism (Joh 6:14) and complete failure to grasp the spiritual lessons.

But because ye ate of the loaves (all' hoti ephagete ek tōn artōn). Second aorist active indicative of esthiō, defective verb.

Ye were filled (echortasthēte). First aorist passive indicative of chortazō, from chortos (grass) as in Joh 6:10, to eat grass, then to eat anything, to satisfy hunger. They were more concerned with hungry stomachs than with hungry souls. It was a sharp and deserved rebuke.
