For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
JOHN 6:33-36 NKJV
John 6:33 The bread is now called the bread of God, meaning it is bread from God—or Christ.
John 6:34 Lord can mean “sir,” which is no doubt the meaning here (4:11, 15).
John 6:35 Bread of life means “bread which supplies life.” Manna satisfied physical needs for a while; Christ satisfies spiritual need forever (4:13, 14).
John 6:36 seen … not believe: Seeing does not necessarily mean believing (v. 30; 11:46–57), although sometimes it does (11:45; 20:29). On the other hand, Christ blesses those who believe without having seen (20:29).
