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.

John 6:33

The bread of God (o artov tou qeou). All bread is of God (Matthew 6:11). The manna came down from heaven (Numbers 11:9) as does this bread (o katabainwn). Refers to the bread (o artov, masculine). Bernard notes that this phrase (coming down) is used seven times in this discourse (John 6:33, John 6:38, John 6:41-42, John 6:50-51, John 6:58).

Giveth life (zwhn didouv). Chrysostom observes that the manna gave nourishment (trofh), but not life (zwh). This is a most astounding statement to the crowd.
