John 6:49 - Forerunner Commentary

John 6:49

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.

51 I am the living bread ^awhich came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and ^bthe bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

52 The Jews therefore ^aquarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless ^ayou eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

54 ^aWhoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is² drink indeed.

56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood ^aabides in Me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58 ^aThis is the bread which came down from heaven—not ^bas your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

Many Disciples Turn Away

60 ^aTherefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a¹ hard saying; who can understand it?”
