This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: See Poole on "Joh_6:33". See Poole on "Joh_6:35". Our Saviour’s so often inculcating this, and what follows, lets us see both how necessary this is to be known, and also how difficult the work of believing is.
Those words,
he shall live for ever, expound those that went before in the Joh_6:50, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. His saying that the bread which he giveth is his flesh, expounds what he said before, viz. how he is the bread of life, viz. by giving his flesh, that is, his life, for the life of the world, that many might be saved; hereby showing us, that the object of our faith is a Christ crucified, 1Co_2:2.
