John 6:30 - Forerunner Commentary

John 6:30

28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, ^a“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

30 Therefore they said to Him, ^a“What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

31 ^aOur fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ^b‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but ^aMy Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 ^aThen they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

35 And Jesus said to them, ^a“I am the bread of life. ^bHe who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never ^cthirst.

36 ^aBut I said to you that you have seen Me and yet ^bdo not believe.

37 ^aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and ^bthe one who comes to Me I will¹ by no means cast out.

38 For I have come down from heaven, ^anot to do My own will, ^bbut the will of Him who sent Me.

39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, ^athat of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^athat everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Rejected by His Own

41 The Jews then¹ complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”

42 And they said, ^a“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them,¹ “Do not murmur among yourselves.

44 ^aNo one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^bdraws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, ^a‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ ^bTherefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

46 ^aNot that anyone has seen the Father, ^bexcept He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

47 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^ahe who believes in Me has everlasting life.

48 ^aI am the bread of life.

49 ^aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 ^aThis is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
