Bible Note: Hi Aixen7z4, The context of John 6 is the value of bread and whether this Jesus is truly the Prophet--He who is to come into the world. Is He the bread of life, the son of Joseph? Is the bread of God that which comes down out of heaven or is the Bread He who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world? Are we to eat bread or Bread? John 6:54. Does the spirit give life or the Spirit? I think that both are involved in obtaining eternal life. We have to hear the word(s) of God in order to be able to know the Word. I believe that the Spirit abides in the communicant believer; John 6:58. And for me, I interpret John 6:58 thus: "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." 59 These things He said in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"" 1) So another question we can ask concerns John 6:61. Is Jesus conscious in His spirit that the disciples were grumbling, or did He know in Himself that His disciples were grumbling? John 6:61, NASB, "But Jesus, conscious that His discples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?" John 6:61, NKJ, "When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?"" How many nouns and pronouns of Deity do you see in John 6:61?
