Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 6:33 In-Context

31 I nostri padri mangiaron la manna nel deserto, com’è scritto: Egli diè loro da mangiare del pane venuto dal cielo.

32 E Gesù disse loro: In verità vi dico che non Mosè vi ha dato il pane che vien dal cielo, ma il Padre mio vi dà il vero pane che viene dal cielo.

33 Poiché il pan di Dio è quello che scende dal cielo, e dà vita al mondo. Essi quindi gli dissero:

34 Signore, dacci sempre di codesto pane.

35 Gesù disse loro: Io son il pan della vita; chi viene a me non avrà fame, e chi crede in me non avrà mai sete.
