Commentary
Commentary on John 6:65
Theological / DevotionalExcept it were given. This verse is a logical sequel to Jesus’ statement, “There are some of you that believe not” (see on v. 64). For Judas these words should have had special significance (see on v. 64). In his own pride and self-confidence Judas was trying to maneuver events so that Jesus would be proclaimed king by the Jews (see on v. 15).
He was attempting by his own cleverness to bring into existence the coming kingdom, as he conceived it to be. But in all this he failed to recognize that man is not the author of the plan of salvation and cannot save himself; and that although man can cooperate with God to hasten the triumph of His cause in the world, the gift of salvation and the coming of the kingdom are the work of God. See on vs. 37, 39.
