João 6:33

33 Pois o pão de Deus é aquele que desceu do céu e dá vida ao mundo”.

João 6:33 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:33

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,
&c.] In the way and manner just now mentioned: and which clearly points out Christ himself, who may be called "the bread of God"; to distinguish him from common bread, and to show the excellency of him, and that he is of God's providing and giving, and which he would have his children feed upon:

and giveth life unto the world;
a spiritual life, which he is the author, supporter, and maintainer of; and eternal life, which he gives a right unto and meetness for, and nourishes up unto; and this not to a few only, or to the Israelites only, but to the Gentiles also, and even to the whole world of God's elect: not indeed to every individual in the world, for all are not quickened now, not shall inherit eternal life hereafter; but to all the people of God, in all parts of the world, and in all ages of time; of such extensive virtue and efficacy is Christ, the bread of God, in which he appears greatly superior to that manna the Jews instance in.

João 6:33 In-Context

31 Os nossos antepassados comeram o maná no deserto; como está escrito: ‘Ele lhes deu a comer pão dos céus’.”

32 Declarou-lhes Jesus: “Digo a verdade: Não foi Moisés quem deu a vocês pão do céu, mas é meu Pai quem dá a vocês o verdadeiro pão do céu.

33 Pois o pão de Deus é aquele que desceu do céu e dá vida ao mundo”.

34 Disseram eles: “Senhor, dá-nos sempre desse pão!”

35 Então Jesus declarou: “Eu sou o pão da vida. Aquele que vem a mim nunca terá fome; aquele que crê em mim nunca terá sede.
