This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3. πνευματικὸν βρῶμα. The manna (Exodus 16), ‘inasmuch as it was not like common bread, a product of nature, but came as bread from heaven (Psa 78:24; Wis 16:20; Joh 6:31), the gift of God, Who, by His Spirit, wrought marvellously for His people.’ Meyer. Cf. also Neh 9:15. And Josephus Ant. III. 1 θεῖον βρῶμα καὶ παράδοξον. It may also mean subjectively as well as objectively spiritual, that is, it may not merely be the work of the Spirit, but may produce the work of the Spirit by teaching man his dependence upon God. See Mat 4:4.
