Commentary on John 6:26

Theological / Devotional

Verily, verily. See on Matthew 5:18; John 1:51.

Ye seek me. Jesus ignored their question and began immediately to discuss their motives in seeking Him. His laying bare of their materialistic motives applied not only to the satisfaction of their physical appetites but also to the whole range of their ambitious expectations that He would assert Himself as a military conqueror and political ruler.

Miracles. See p. 208.
