Juan 6:41 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:41

The Jews then murmured at him
When they found that he spoke of himself as the true bread, the bread of God, and bread of life, and as descending from heaven: and which was to be fed upon in a spiritual manner by faith, which they were ignorant of, and had no desire unto: and thus being disappointed of the delicious corporeal food they expected, they grew uneasy, and displeased,

because he said I am the bread which came down from heaven;
for though, as yet, he had not said this in so many words, and in this direct form, as afterwards, in ( John 6:51 ) ; yet he had said what amounted to it, and which might be easily gathered from ( John 6:35 John 6:38 ) The Vulgate Latin reads, "I am the living bread"; and the Persic version, "I am the bread of life". And this last renders the first clause "mocked at him".

Juan 6:41 In-Context

39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió: que de todo lo que El me ha dado yo no pierda nada, sino que lo resucite en el día final.

40 Porque esta es la voluntad de mi Padre: que todo aquel que ve al Hijo y cree en El, tenga vida eterna, y yo mismo lo resucitaré en el día final.

41 Por eso los judíos murmuraban de El, porque había dicho: Yo soy el pan que descendió del cielo.

42 Y decían: ¿No es éste Jesús, el hijo de José, cuyo padre y madre nosotros conocemos? ¿Cómo es que ahora dice: "Yo he descendido del cielo"?

43 Respondió Jesús y les dijo: No murmuréis entre vosotros.
