This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:68.[153] Ῥήματα, the words) The disciples, even though as yet they do not comprehend the special principles of the discourses of Christ, yet hold the general foundation. A most noble instance of implicit faith, involved in the explicit faith [faith involved in the faith evolved].[154] The whole of the phraseology, the words of eternal life-we have believed-the Son of God, is repeated from Joh 6:63-65.[155] So Martha, ch. Joh 11:27, upholds her faith in Jesus Christ, although she did not as yet perceive the grounds and bearings of the resurrection. [In answer to Jesus, “I am the resurrection and the life,” etc., she replies, “I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”]
[153] πρὸς τίνα, to whom) It is a blessed thing for that man, into whose mind, if even it should see the door open, nothing whatever else glides in.-V. g.
[154] i.e. Universal faith implied in the faith expressed by Peter.
[155] To which therefore Peter alludes, contrasting the Twelve with the unbelievers.-E. and T.
