Yochanan 6:36

36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not have bitachon, you lack emunah.

Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 6:36 In-Context

34 Therefore, they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, always give us this lechem.

35 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Ani Hu [SHEMOT 3:14] the lechem haChayyim; the one coming to me never hungers, and the one with emunah in me will never thirst again.

36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not have bitachon, you lack emunah.

37 All which HaAv gives to me will come to me, and the one coming to me I will never turn away.

38 For I have come down from Shomayim not that I may do my ratzon, but the ratzon of the One having sent me.
