Commentary on John 6:61

Theological / Devotional

Knew in himself. See ch. 2:25.

Disciples murmured. Up to this point only the Jews are spoken of as murmuring against Jesus (see v. 41). Now those who have been openly His followers turn from Him and fall in line with their fellow countrymen who have been opposing Jesus. Three groups seem to have been present in the synagogue during this discourse: the Twelve, who had crossed the lake during the storm; the followers of Jesus who had crossed to Capernaum the following day; and those whom John speaks of as “the Jews,” who apparently were largely critical of Jesus from the beginning.

Offend. Gr. skandalizo (see on Matt. 5:29).
