1 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | Morant61 | 134754 | ||
Greetings Emmaus! There is another possibility as to why the crowd was upset with Jesus. John 6:42 specifically mentions that they were upset that He claimed to 'come down from Heaven'. They certainly could have been upset because of the implications of what He was claiming for Himself. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, I belive that John 6:52 is the key verse in the whole passage. That was the final straw it seems. John 6:51 "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh." John 6:52 "Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" John 6:58 "This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever." John 6:59 "These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. John 6:60 "Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?" John 6:61 "But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?" John 6:66 "As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore." So the question still remains. How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Many still cannot near this statement, which Jesu did not retract nor explain away as mere symbolic speech, but which the Church unanimously undersdtood for 1500 years as Holy Communion and which the majority of Christians still understand in that way.
