This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
It was not Moses that gave you (ou Mōusēs edōken humin). “Not Moses gave you.” Blunt and pointed denial (aorist active indicative of didōmi) that Moses was the giver of the bread from heaven (the manna). Moses was not superior to Christ on this score.
But my Father (all ho patēr mou). Not “our Father,” but same claim as in Joh 5:17. Which caused so much anger in Jerusalem.
Gives (didōsin). Present active indicative, not aorist (edōken). Continual process.
The true bread out of heaven (ton arton ek tou ouranou ton alēthinon). “The bread out of heaven” as the manna and more “the genuine bread” of which that was merely a type. On alēthinos see Joh 1:9; Joh 4:23.
