John 6:32

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

Moses gave you not. The Jews apparently believed that Moses had been responsible for the gift of manna (see on v. 31). Jesus’ reply here has been taken by some to be a denial of this belief, and an assertion of the truth that the manna (“that bread from heaven”) had really come from God. Others have understood Jesus as not entering into the question of whether Moses had brought down the manna, but rather as declaring that the manna, which was physical food, was not really “bread from heaven” in a spiritual sense, and so was not “the true bread from heaven.” It does not seem unreasonable to understand Jesus here as proclaiming both these truths: that God, not Moses, was the giver of the physical manna, and also that true bread from heaven is to be recognized as a spiritual, not a material, gift.

Giveth. The use of the present tense here, in Greek as in English, emphasizes the fact that the Gift of God was being extended to them at that very time in the person of Him who stood before them.
