This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:57. Ἀπέστειλέ με, hath sent Me) To this is to be referred the [corresponding clause in the Apodosis] καὶ ὁ τρώγων με, so also he who eateth Me, through faith. The meat of Jesus was to do the will of Him by whom He was sent, ch. Joh 4:34; the meat of the believer is, to eat Christ, and to feed on Him, by the will of the Father.-κἀγώ, and I) The as has its Apodosis in that clause, so also He who eateth Me.-διὰ τὸν Πατέρα, on account of the Father [Engl. Vers. ‘by,’ not so correctly]) For I am in the Father.-καί) So also.-ὁ τρώγων με) He who eateth Me, who live [ζῶ]; [this he does] through faith: Joh 6:29, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent;” 35, “He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me,” etc.; 40, 64. In this point of view, inasmuch as the Father hath sent His Son, we eat His flesh and believe in Him.
