Commentary on John 6:34

Theological / Devotional

Evermore give us. By this request the Jews showed that they had not understood the implication in v. 33 that Jesus Himself was the bread from heaven. They still thought of Him only as the one who gives bread. Much as the Samaritan woman had requested water that would forever quench her thirst that she might not need to draw water again (ch. 4:15), so now the Jews asked for a continual supply of bread. Moses, as they thought, had provided Israel with heavenly bread for 40 years; if Jesus were truly the Messiah, surely He could work a yet greater miracle and supply them forever (see on vs. 31, 32).
