João 6:36

36 Mas como já vos disse, vós me tendes visto, e contudo não credes.

João 6:36 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:36

But I said unto you
The substance of what follows in ( John 6:26 ) though the Persic and Ethiopic versions render it, "I say unto you"; and so refers not to anything before said, but to what he was about to say:

that ye also have seen me, and believe not;
that is, they had not only seen him in person, which many kings, prophets, and righteous men had desired, but not enjoyed, yet nevertheless believed; but they had seen his miracles, and had shared in the advantages of them, being healed, and fed corporeally by him, and yet believed not in him as the spiritual Saviour and Redeemer of their souls; nor did they come to him in a spiritual way, for eternal life and salvation.

João 6:36 In-Context

34 Disseram-lhe, pois: Senhor, dá-nos sempre desse pão.

35 Declarou-lhes Jesus. Eu sou o pão da vida; aquele que vem a mim, de modo algum terá fome, e quem crê em mim jamais tará sede.

36 Mas como já vos disse, vós me tendes visto, e contudo não credes.

37 Todo o que o Pai me dá virá a mim; e o que vem a mim de maneira nenhuma o lançarei fora.

38 Porque eu desci do céu, não para fazer a minha vontade, mas a vontade daquele que me enviou.
