# Joh 6:37
\\All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.\\ Christ
here, as elsewhere, shows that the power is of the Father.
Some Jews may reject him, but all whom the Father gives, of
every race, will come to him. Christ is God's gift to men, but
the believers are his gift to Christ.
(PNT 350-351 edited)

# Joh 6:38
\\For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will.\\
Christ will refuse none who come to him; all such are given by
the Father and he came to do the Father's will.
(PNT 351)
03152
# Joh 6:39-40
\\This is the Father's will.\\ The Father's will is that
"every one who sees the Son and believes upon him," thus coming
to, following and abiding in him, shall have eternal life, and
that in the resurrection day Christ shall raise him from the
grave. These verses show,
(1) That there is no secret decree of non-election. The will of
the Father applies to every one who believes upon the Son.
(2) The condition of eternal life is a faith that leads to and
appropriates Christ; that makes him the Lord of the soul.
(3) Christ hath brought to light immortality. He is the
"resurrection and the life."
# 11:25
(PNT 351 edited)
03153
# Joh 6:40
\\I will raise him up at the last day.\\ Jesus tells of a
future resurrection and judgment at "the last day" in the
following verses:
# Joh 5:28,29 6:39,40,44,54
It may be observed from these six verses that the bodily
resurrection of believers, and the resurrection and judgment of
unbelievers, all occur on the "last day." This is not to be
confused with "these last days (plural)" which occurs elsewhere
in Scripture and refers to the time since Christ appeared.
03157
# Joh 6:44
\\No man can come to me, except the Father . . . draw him.\\
Their obstinacy and unbelief called out this.
# 6:41,42
Two things are needful to come to Christ, the human will to come
and the divine drawing. See
# 5:40 Mt 23:37 Re 22:17
God "draws" by the gospel. "It is the power of God unto
salvation."
# Ro 1:16
If our will consents, so that we yield to the drawing, we
will come to Christ.
(PNT 351)
03158
# Joh 6:45
\\They shall all be taught from God.\\ Thus God "draws," and
those who have heard and learned, come to Christ.
(PNT 351)
03159
# Joh 6:46
\\Not that any man hath seen the Father.\\ They are drawn by
hearing the word, not by seeing.
(PNT 351)
03163
# Joh 6:50
\\May eat of it, and not die.\\ Eternally. The Bread of Life,
our Crucified Lord, is appropriated ("eaten," made our own) by
faith.
(PNT 352)
03166
# Joh 6:53
\\Except ye eat of the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
\\blood.\\ Appropriate these by faith. Whosoever by faith trusts
in the death of Christ and is "baptized into his death"
# Ro 6:3
spiritually partakes of the body and blood of Christ. So does
he also who eats in loving remembrance of him the emblems that
represent his body and blood. Verse 63 shows that his words must
be taken in a spiritual rather than a literal sense.
# 6:63
(PNT 352)
03168
# Joh 6:55
\\My flesh is food indeed.\\ For the soul, hence partaken of
by faith.
(PNT 352)
03169
# Joh 6:56
\\Dwelleth in me.\\ See
# Ro 6:1-8
(PNT 352)
03170
# Joh 6:57
\\The living Father.\\ Who is the fountain of all life.
(PNT 352)
03171
# Joh 6:58
\\This is that bread.\\ Himself. He probably laid his hand
upon himself as he spoke.
(PNT 352)
03172
# Joh 6:59
\\These things said he in the synagogue.\\ In the ruins,
called Tel Hum, supposed to be those of Capernaum, are found
those of a synagogue known to have been erected in the Herodian
period by its style of architecture. There is ground for
believing that this is the one erected by the centurion that
"loveth our nation," and in which Christ spoke.
# Lu 7:5
(PNT 352)
03173
# Joh 6:60
\\This is an hard saying.\\ About eating and drinking his
flesh and blood. They could not comprehend.
(PNT 352)
03175
# Joh 6:62
\\[What] if ye shall see the Son of man ascend?\\ He points
forward to a greater marvel than the one that now staggered
before them, the Ascension of the Son of man.
(PNT 353)
03176
# Joh 6:63
\\It is the spirit that giveth life.\\ We may paraphrase this
verse thus: I shall ascend to heaven so that my body cannot be
literally eaten; the flesh literally profits nothing. It is the
spirit that makes alive. The spirits of men must feed upon me by
faith, that they may be made alive. My words are spirit and
life. He who feeds upon them will be made alive."
(PNT 353)
03178
# Joh 6:65
\\No man can come to me.\\
See note on "Joh 6:44"
See note on "Joh 6:45"
(PNT 353)
03179
# Joh 6:66
\\Many of his disciples went back.\\ They stumbled over the
remarkable declarations of this chapter. They had no genuine
faith.
(PNT 353)
03181
# Joh 6:68-69
\\To whom shall we go?\\ If we should turn from Christ, to
whom should we go? Peter's confession here is of the same
purport as that a Caesarea Philippi.
(PNT 353)
03183
# Joh 6:70
\\One of you is a devil.\\ A demon, in the original;
diabolical, or under the influence of the evil one.
Notice in this remarkable discourse the progressive thought:
(1) The Lord announces the Bread of God that giveth life to the
world.
# 6:33
(2) He declares that he is the Bread of Life.
# 6:48,50
(3) The Bread of life must be eaten by partaking of his flesh
and blood.
# 6:51-56
(4) This is done spiritually, by the spirit feeding upon his
life and words.
# 6:63
(PNT 353)

# Joh 7:1
SUMMARY OF JOHN 7

The Unbelief of the Brethren of Jesus
He Goes to the Feast of Tabernacles
He Teaches in the Temple
The Discussions Among the People
The Pharisees Send Officers to Take Him
The Last Day of the Feast
The Report to the Officers
\\After these things.\\ The events narrated in the last
chapter. About six months of the ministry in Galilee intervened
between the feeding of the Five Thousand and the Feast of
Tabernacles. During this interval the Lord kept away from Judea
on account of the enmity of the authorities there.
(PNT 354)
03186
# Joh 7:2
\\Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.\\ It fell
in the month Tizri, covering part of September and of October,
and lasted for a week. It was one of the three feasts that all
Jews were expected to attend.
(PNT 354)
03187
# Joh 7:3
\\His brethren said to him.\\ His brothers.
See note on "Joh 2:12"
\\Depart from here, and go into Judaea.\\ A long time had
passed since he had been at Jerusalem, and these brethren wished
him to show his mighty powers there.
(PNT 354)
03188
# Joh 7:4
\\If thou doest these things.\\ These brethren still were
doubters. He differed so from their idea of the Christ that
they could not understand him, and they hoped that at Jerusalem
he would be made manifest. They afterwards became believers.
(PNT 354)
03190
# Joh 7:6
\\My time is not yet come.\\ For the full manifestation of
himself. This require his death and resurrection.
(PNT 354)
03191
# Joh 7:7
\\The world cannot hate you.\\ Because then it would hate its
own, but it hated him because he rebuked his sins. They were of
the world; he was not.
(PNT 354)
03192
# Joh 7:8
\\I go not yet.\\ He does not say that he will not go, but he
will not go YET. He did not wish to go in the great multitude of
pilgrims that were en route, as there were reasons why he should
go quietly.
(PNT 354)
03194
# Joh 7:10
\\But as it were in secret.\\ After the crowds had gone, so
that he could travel privately. The multitudes hung upon him and
had sought to make him a king. In Galilee he was very popular at
this time. His popularity intensified the enmity of "the Jews."
(PNT 354)
03195
# Joh 7:11
\\The Jews sought him.\\ "The Jews" in John almost always
means the ruling class at Jerusalem.
(PNT 354)
03196
# Joh 7:12-13
\\The people\\ means the masses of the Jewish nation. The
people were divided in opinion, but dared not express themselves
openly until they saw what course \\the Jews\\ would take.
(PNT 354)
03198
# Joh 7:14
\\About the midst of the feast.\\ The middle. It lasted eight
days in all. Jesus seems to have appeared unexpectedly in the
temple, engaged in teaching.
(PNT 355)
03199
# Joh 7:15
\\How knoweth\\, etc.? The Jewish rulers were astonished at
his learning, since he had never attended the great schools of
their doctors.
(PNT 355)
