This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:34. Κύριε, Lord) They speak with some degree of reverence, as at Joh 6:25 [Rabbi]; and even faith itself might have arisen in them from Joh 6:35, “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst:” but presently they start back again from faith: Joh 6:36; Joh 6:42, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He saith, I came down from heaven?” Those declarations are especially to be observed, by the hearing of which the Jews were inclined to believe: ch. Joh 7:40, “If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink; he that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” “Many of the people, therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet:” Joh 8:30, “He that sent Me is with Me; the Father hath not left Me alone, for I do always those things that please Him. As He spake these words, many believed on Him.”-πάντοτε, evermore) To this is to be referred the following verse, at its close, “never hunger-never thirst.”-τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον, this bread) They still suppose that His speech is concerning the nutriment of the body; and it is this that they seek: Joh 6:26, “Ye seek Me-because ye did eat of the loaves.”
