Juan 6:52

52 Los judíos comenzaron a disputar acaloradamente entre sí: «¿Cómo puede este darnos a comer su carne?»

Juan 6:52 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:52

The Jews therefore strove among themselves
Fell to cavilling and disputing one among another; some understanding Christ, and others not; some being for him, and vindicated what he said; and others being against him, and who were the majority, objected,

saying how can this man give us his flesh to eat?
which is to be understood, not physically, but as morally impossible and unlawful; since, with the Jews, it was not lawful to eat the flesh of any creature alive, and much less the flesh of man; for the Jews understood Christ of a corporeal eating of his flesh, being strangers to a figurative or spiritual eating of it by faith, in which sense he meant it.

Juan 6:52 In-Context

50 Pero este es el pan que baja del cielo; el que come de él, no muere.
51 Yo soy el pan vivo que bajó del cielo. Si alguno come de este pan, vivirá para siempre. Este pan es mi carne, que daré para que el mundo viva.
52 Los judíos comenzaron a disputar acaloradamente entre sí: «¿Cómo puede este darnos a comer su carne?»
53 —Ciertamente les aseguro —afirmó Jesús— que si no comen la carne del Hijo del hombre ni beben su sangre, no tienen realmente vida.
54 El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre tiene vida eterna, y yo lo resucitaré en el día final.
