# Joh 5:36
\\I have greater testimony.\\ His works given of the Father,
the Father's voice at baptism, and the Scriptures, which are the
Father's word.
(PNT 346)
03104
# Joh 5:38
\\Have not his word abiding in you.\\ If they had they would
believe upon him of whom that word did speak.
(PNT 346)
03105
# Joh 5:39
\\Search the scriptures.\\ Rather, as in the ASV, "Ye search
the Scriptures" for eternal life. They were full of testimony
about the coming Messiah. Yet they turned away from him who is
the way, the truth, and the life, as their Scriptures foretold.
(PNT 346 edited)
03107
# Joh 5:41
\\I receive not honour from men.\\ This perhaps is a reply to
some expression of disapproval on their part.
(PNT 346)
03108
# Joh 5:42
\\I know you.\\ He read their hearts.
(PNT 346)
03109
# Joh 5:43
\\If another shall come.\\ Some false Christ.
(PNT 346)
03110
# Joh 5:44
\\How can ye believe?\\ This verse shows that unbelief is due
to the moral condition.
(PNT 346)
03111
# Joh 5:45-47
\\There is [one] that accuseth you.\\ Moses, whose testimony
they failed to accept. If they rejected the testimony of Moses,
whom they professed to reverence, how could they believe him of
whom Moses spoke?
(PNT 346)

# Joh 6:1
SUMMARY OF JOHN 6
\\Christ, the Bread of Life\\
The Five Thousand Fed
The Multitude Seek to Make Jesus a King
Jesus in the Mountain Alone
The Disciples in the Storm
Jesus Comes to Save in the Storm
The Discourse in the Synagogue of Capernaum
The Bread of Life
\\After these things.\\ Not immediately after, but at a later
period. It was probably nearly two years after the miracle at
the pool of Bethesda.
\\Jesus went over the sea of Galilee.\\ The scene of his
ministry had changed from Jerusalem to the inland lake, or sea,
around which he loved to linger. John cites the fact that it was
also called the Sea of Tiberias. The latter name was then better
known to Gentile readers.
(PNT 347)
03115
# Joh 6:2-13
\\And a great multitude followed him.\\ The miracle of the
Feeding of the Five Thousand, which follows, is the only miracle
of the Saviour recorded by all the four Gospels. It is found in
# Mt 14:13-21 Mr 6:30-44 Lu 9:10-17
From a comparison of the accounts we learn that it took place
after the death of John the Baptist, and hence as late as the
third year of our Lord's ministry. We gain from John the
information that it occurred near the passover, that is, in the
early spring, about one year before the death of the Saviour.
(PNT 347)
03125
# Joh 6:12
\\Gather the fragments that remain.\\ God does not allow
wastefulness. Nature wastes nothing, not an ounce of matter. It
is the waste of man that causes want. There is food enough for
all. The waste of our nation is appalling;-- $800,000,000 per
year in liquor; $200,000,000 on tobacco, besides all the
extravagance of life. Christ bids us save; save the fragments.
It is by wasting the fragments that the great wastes occurs.
(PNT 347)
03127
# Joh 6:14
\\This is truly that prophet.\\ The long expected prophet,
foretold in
# De 18:15-16
and referred to by the delegation sent to visit John the Baptist
# 1:21
This expected prophet was to be the king of Israel, the head of
the kingdom of God on the earth. In other words, they said:
"This is the Christ."
(PNT 348)
03128-930416-1247-Joh6.15
# Joh 6:15
\\Perceived that they would come . . . to make him a king.\\
Convinced that he was the Messiah, they sought to proclaim him king,
to raise his standard, and establish his government \\by force.\\
To escape their misguided intentions Jesus retired to a mountain
alone. We learn elsewhere that he went to pray.
# Mt 14:23 Mr 6:46
(PNT 348 edited)
03129
# Joh 6:16-21
\\His disciples . . . entered into a boat.\\ For notes on
this storm on the sea, and the Lord coming to his disciples in
the storm, see
# Mt 14:22-31
Compare
# Mr 6:46-54
(PNT 348)
03133
# Joh 6:20
\\It is I; be not afraid.\\ This is the gospel message of
peace, on the ground--the simple ground--"It is I." Christ's
presence is peace to the soul. How often has he to speak this
word of encouragement, even to his own! almost always when they
are brought suddenly, or in an unusual way, face to face with
him!
(PNT 348)
03135
# Joh 6:22
\\The day following.\\ The day after the miracle, when five
thousand were fed, and after the night storm on the sea of
Galilee. "The people who had stood on the other side and been
fed," remained awhile because there were no other vessels, and
the more willingly, because they saw that Jesus had not gone
with his disciples.
(PNT 348-349)
03136
# Joh 6:23
\\Tiberias.\\ The largest city on the sea, built by Herod,
and named after Tiberius Caesar. Herod Antipas usually occupied
it as his capital.
(PNT 349)
03137
# Joh 6:24
\\Came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.\\ As they did not see
the Lord longer on the eastern shore, they sought him at the
place where he made his home.
(PNT 349)
03138
# Joh 6:25
\\Rabbi, when camest thou here?\\ He had not crossed the sea
with his disciples; he had not come with them; how and when did
he come? The day was the Sabbath, they had sought him in the
synagogue, the question was asked there, and the discourse that
follows was spoken there. See
# 6:59
(PNT 349)
03139
# Joh 6:26
\\Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles.\\ The Saviour
reveals to them the true motives which induced them to seek him.
Henry says: "Not because he taught them, but because he fed
them; not for love, but for loaves. Thus do all who seek in
religion secular advantages and follow Christ for the sake of
secular preferments." People are more clamorous for earthly
bread, than anxious concerning food for their souls.
(PNT 349)
03140
# Joh 6:27
\\Labour not for the food which perisheth.\\ The Saviour does
not prohibit labouring for food, but making the acquisition of
food and worldly things the leading object of life. He means: Do
not manifest a chief anxiety for bodily food, for the food that
perishes with the using, but rather seek
\\the food which endureth unto everlasting life.\\ The food
of the soul; the Bread of Life.
\\Him hath God the Father sealed.\\ Sealing is the mark of
approval, of authority. A legal document must bear the seal of
the State to give it force. The Father had commissioned,
authorized, and stamped his seal upon the work of the Son. His
miracles were a divine seal.
(PNT 349)
03141
# Joh 6:28
\\What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?\\
These seekers of Christ are eager for more information. He had
bidden them work for the food of eternal life. What works then
shall they do that they may please God and receive the divine
gift?
(PNT 349)
03142
# Joh 6:29
\\This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he
\\hath sent.\\ They are startled by hearing that to please God
the first requirement is faith in Christ. This is "the work of
God" that pleases him. "Without faith it is impossible to please
God."
# Heb 11:6
It is not works, but one work, that is required, a faith that
would enable them to lay hold upon him who is the Bread of Life.
From such faith would spring a Christlike life.
(PNT 349)
03143
# Joh 6:30
\\What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe
\\thee?\\ He had pointed to himself as the object of faith,
making his claim, such as had never been made by mortal man. He
had spoken of his seal, or sign. They ask now for a sign.
(PNT 350)
03144
# Joh 6:31
\\Our fathers ate manna in the desert.\\ He may have fed a
few thousands on the day before, but what was that to feeding of
the whole host of Israel for forty years in the wilderness? Is
he as great a leader as Moses, in whose time the manna fell?
(PNT 350)
03145
# Joh 6:32
\\Moses gave you not that bread from heaven.\\ It was not
Moses, with whom they were disposed to compare him, who
furnished the manna in the wilderness, but the Lord.
# Ex 16:15
He still feeds the Israel of God on its way to the heavenly
Canaan.
\\My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.\\ The true
bread is for the soul instead of the body. It satisfies the
soul's hunger and keeps it alive. The Father gives it by sending
the Son, the true bread of Life. Of the true bread the manna was
a type.
(PNT 350)
03146
# Joh 6:33
\\The bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven.\\ He
here defines the marks of the true bread:
(1) It comes from heaven;
(2) It bestows life upon the soul and sustains it;
(3) It is for the world, not for a single race.
(PNT 350)
03147
# Joh 6:34
\\Lord, evermore give us this bread.\\ One cannot fail to see
the resemblance to the case of the woman of Sychar. Compare the
Lord's teachings there on the Water of Life.
# 4:9-15
(PNT 350)
03148
# Joh 6:35
\\Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life.\\ They ask for
this bread. He answers, it is here; I am that bread. The work of
God is that you receive it by believing upon him whom he hath
sent. He that cometh shall not hunger; he that believeth shall
not thirst. It is thus shown that faith is the power that brings
us to Christ. We come to him by believing.
(PNT 350)
03149
# Joh 6:36
\\Ye also have seen me, and believe not.\\ They had asked a
work in order that they might believe, which was a confession of
their unbelief. They ask for the bread of life, but they can
only partake of it by believing in him. He therefore points out
the one obstacle to obtaining what they had asked for.
(PNT 350)
