Jean 6:33

33 Car le pain de Dieu est celui qui est descendu du ciel, et qui donne la vie au monde.

Jean 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.

Jean 6:33 In-Context

31 Nos pères ont mangé la manne dans le désert, selon qu'il est écrit: Il leur a donné à manger le pain du ciel.

32 Et Jésus leur dit: En vérité, en vérité je vous le dis, Moïse ne vous a point donné le pain du ciel; mais mon Père vous donne le vrai pain du ciel.

33 Car le pain de Dieu est celui qui est descendu du ciel, et qui donne la vie au monde.

34 Ils lui dirent: Seigneur, donne-nous toujours de ce pain-là.

35 Et Jésus leur répondit: Je suis le pain de vie; celui qui vient à moi n'aura jamais faim, et celui qui croit en moi n'aura jamais soif.
