Commentary on John 6:42

Theological / Devotional

Son of Joseph. The words of this verse appear to reflect the Aramaic Yeshua ‘ bar Yoseph, “Jesus son of Joseph,” the name by which Jesus probably was known among His neighbors. To them, the idea that He was the son of Joseph and Mary, whom they knew, completely ruled out the possibility of His having a heavenly origin.

I came down. Literally, “I have come down” (see on v. 38).
