1 | Bread: Is it the spirit that gives life? | John 6:61 | Morant61 | 122311 | ||
Greetings Ray! John 6:61 actually has six pronouns. Here is the litral translation: "But Jesus, having perceived in Himself that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them: 'Are you stumbling at this?'" so, the six pronouns are: Himself, of Him, this, to them, you, and this. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | 8 words of Deity in John 6:61-63: yes? | John 6:61 | Ray | 122340 | ||
Hi Tim, I envy you your knowledge of the languages and of English grammar. You are right of course about the number of pronouns; and I believe that there is the number seven of "He said" that is inferred depending on the phrasing in translation. What I "count" are the pronouns of Deity along with the nouns of Deity. So personally I count (with the "He said") four words (nouns and pronouns) that refer to Deity for verse 61. 1) Can you offer any suggestion of why the NASB chose not to include "in Himself" in their translation? 2) After the Son of Man ascends from where He was before, "who" or "what" gives life? The flesh profits nothing. Is it the Spirit or the spirit that gives life? 3) Is Jesus the Bread or the bread of life? How can this (m)Man give us His flesh to eat? From the heart, Ray |

If I could butt in, I thought I'd tackle your 3rd question since I'm unqualified to handle the first two. We see much wisdom in the following from our Lord. Matt 15:10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 13But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 15Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." 16So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man." Now we know that people don't literally eat Jesus' body as bread or nourishment for our body, but instead He's saying that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness so much as to read every Word of God, they are the ones who will truly live in the life hereafter. So here we see that Jesus really is the Word of God (John 1) and thus we (His children) must take in all of what He says or at least do our very best AND obey. This is the only way I can see an answer to this question. Would you have a different answer? Of course you might want to wait until you get a sufficient number of responses. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
