Commentary on John 6:64

Theological / Devotional

That believe not. Again Jesus emphasized the importance of belief, or faith. His words were spirit and life only to those who believed. See on vs. 29, 40.

Knew from the beginning. See ch. 2:25.

Who should betray him. Apparently the statement, “There are some of you that believe not,” included Judas as well as the unbelieving Jews. Judas’ difficulty lay in the fact that he refused to accept the truth that Jesus’ kingdom was to be spiritual. Instead he looked for a material, earthly kingdom in which he hoped to have a prominent place (see DA 718-721). His acceptance of Jesus’ words upon this occasion would have corrected his basic misconception.
