This statement is a profound declaration of Jesus' divine origin and mission. The phrase "I am" echoes the divine name revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, indicating Jesus' divinity. The concept of "living bread" connects to the manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16), which was a temporary sustenance. In contrast, Jesus offers eternal sustenance. The imagery of bread is significant in Jewish culture, symbolizing life and sustenance. By stating He "came down from heaven," Jesus emphasizes His pre-existence and divine mission, aligning with <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, where the Word became flesh.If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This phrase introduces the concept of spiritual nourishment leading to eternal life. Eating the bread symbolizes accepting and internalizing Jesus' teachings and sacrifice. The promise of living forever reflects the eternal life offered through faith in Christ, as seen in <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>. This eternal life is not merely an unending existence but a quality of life in communion with God. The invitation is universal, "if anyone," indicating the inclusivity of the gospel message.And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” Here, Jesus foreshadows His sacrificial death on the cross. The giving of His flesh refers to His impending crucifixion, where His body would be broken for humanity's redemption. This act fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which speaks of the suffering servant. The phrase "for the life of the world" underscores the global scope of Jesus' mission, offering salvation to all humanity. This sacrificial language prefigures the Last Supper, where Jesus identifies the bread with His body (<a href="/matthew/26-26.htm">Matthew 26:26</a>). The concept of substitutionary atonement is central here, where Jesus' death provides life to those who believe.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, declaring Himself as the "living bread" and foreshadowing His sacrificial death. 2. <a href="/topical/h/heaven.htm">Heaven</a> The place from which Jesus claims to have come down, emphasizing His divine origin and mission. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_world.htm">The World</a> Represents all of humanity, for whom Jesus offers His flesh, indicating the universal scope of His redemptive work. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_bread.htm">The Bread</a> Symbolizes Jesus Himself, particularly His body given in sacrifice, drawing on the imagery of sustenance and life. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_audience.htm">The Audience</a> Primarily the Jewish people who were listening to Jesus, struggling to understand His metaphorical language.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/j/jesus_as_the_source_of_eternal_life.htm">Jesus as the Source of Eternal Life</a> Jesus identifies Himself as the living bread, emphasizing that true life is found in Him alone.

He spoke before of bread which was "of life," characterised by life, producing life. He now speaks of this bread as "living," containing the principle of life in itself. (Comp. <a href="/context/john/4-13.htm" title="Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:">John 4:13-14</a>; <a href="/john/5-26.htm" title="For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;">John 5:26</a>). Once again, too, He answers their demand for bread "from heaven" (<a href="/john/6-31.htm" title="Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.">John 6:31</a>). The lifeless manna fell and lay upon the ground until they gathered it, and passed to corruption if they did not. Each day's supply met the need of each day, but met that only. He is the bread containing life in Himself, coming by His own will and act from heaven, living among men, imparting life to those who eat by coming to and believing on Him, so that it becomes in them a principle of life, too, which cannot die, but shall live for ever.And the bread that I will give is my flesh.--The following words, "which I will give," should be, probably, omitted, and the whole clause should be read--And the bread that I will give is My flesh for the life of the world. The words are in every way full of meaning, and the history of their interpretation is a long chapter in the history of Christian doctrine. Their connection with the words used at the institution of the Lord's Supper will be dealt with in Excursus C: The Sacramental Teaching of St. John's Gospel. Their meaning for the immediate hearers is to be found in the thoughts which led up to them, and which they would suggest to a spiritually-minded Jew. They are, indeed, to be spiritually interpreted (<a href="/john/6-63.htm" title="It is the spirit that vivifies; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.">John 6:63</a>), and many, even among the disciples, feel it is a hard saying which they cannot hear (<a href="/john/6-60.htm" title="Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?">John 6:60</a>); but the elements of the interpretation are to be sought in the Jewish mind. They have followed Him after a miracle which multiplied a few common barley loaves and fishes, and made them more than enough for thousands (<a href="/context/john/6-22.htm" title="The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one into where his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;">John 6:22-24</a>); He has rebuked the mere bread-seeking spirit, and declared to them the true food (<a href="/john/6-26.htm" title="Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.">John 6:26</a>; <a href="/john/6-29.htm" title="Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.">John 6:29</a>); they have demanded a sign from heaven like the manna (<a href="/context/john/6-30.htm" title="They said therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?">John 6:30-31</a>); He has answered that the manna was the Father's gift, and that He is the true bread from heaven (<a href="/context/john/6-32.htm" title="Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.">John 6:32-35</a>); He has shown parenthetically the real ground of their unbelief (<a href="/context/john/6-36.htm" title="But I said to you, That you also have seen me, and believe not.">John 6:36-46</a>), and again returned to the thought of the bread of life which they have murmured at (<a href="/context/john/6-41.htm" title="The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.">John 6:41-42</a>), and which He has more fully explained (<a href="/context/john/6-47.htm" title="Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me has everlasting life.">John 6:47-51</a>). He now identifies the bread of which He has spoken with His flesh, and says that He will give that for the life of the world. This form of human flesh is, as bread, the means by which life is conveyed; it is the word by which the Eternal Spirit speaks to the spirit of man. (Comp. <a href="/john/1-14.htm" title="And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.">John 1:14</a>, which is the only other passage in this Gospel, and <a href="/luke/24-39.htm" title="Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.">Luke 24:39</a>, of the resurrection body, which is the only other passage in the New Testament, where the word "flesh" is used of the person of Christ.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 51. - I am (not only the "Bread of God," the "Bread of life," the life-giving Personality, but) the living Bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this Bread, he will live forever. With this verse We see, instead of monotony, a threefold advance. (1) In place of the life-giving Bread, he declares himself to be as Bread, yet a living Person, possessing therefore in himself the essential principle and energy of life. (2) Instead of coming down, used characteristically or universally, he points to a definite, concrete, historic fact - "that has come down out of heaven." (3) Instead of saying, "he may not die," we find the glorious assertion, "he will live forever." The kind of eating of which he speaks becomes clearer; the kind of food, the kind of death, the kind of life, all burst into light which points back to the first great word of this discourse, viz. "Labour tot that food which endureth unto eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for this one the Father, even God, hath scaled." "The miraculous feeding of yesterday was but the metaphor by which I was conveying this thought, that I was providing an inexhaustible supply for the eternal life of that humanity which I have assumed." In the last clause of the verse he made a yet further advance: Yea, and the bread which I shall give is my flesh (which I shall give) for the life of the world. The καὶ... δὲ of the commencement of the clause show a continuation of the thought with a new departure, coordination, and progress, "Yea, and the bread which I shall give is my flesh." Though the word "flesh" is often described by some of its frequent characteristics and qualities, and might be and has been regarded as the bodily and sensuous nature, and also as the seat of sin, it is, both by Paul and John, used for the nature of man as a creature - its totality regarded on its earthly side, the entire "humanity" which Christ assumed, the common antithesis to "spirit" viewed as the Divine supernatural gift to man. He was (<a href="/1_timothy/3-16.htm">1 Timothy 3:16</a>) "manifest in the flesh," in "the likeness of sinful flesh" (<a href="/romans/8-3.htm">Romans 8:3</a>) - in a flesh free from all sin. He came "in the flesh" (<a href="/1_john/2-16.htm">1 John 2:16</a>; <a href="/1_john/4-2.htm">1 John 4:2</a>). This humanity of his he gives, or rather, when he spake these words, he would give, to be eaten, to be assimilated by faith; and, having reached this point, he added (i.e. if we retain the questioned clause, which, with Meyer and Godet, we see no sufficient reason for discarding), which flesh,which humanity of his, he will further give to be slain and sacrificed for the sake of, or on behalf of, the world. This clause, which the Vatican Codex, etc., reject, proceeds clearly on the supposition that Christ advances here to the prediction and promise of his death. It is so worded as all the more to justify the emphasis he subsequently lays upon the death itself as essential to a full participation in himself. In this verse and closing utterance he prepares for further disclosures, and the flesh of Christ receives explanation from the rich and varied reference to it in the final words of the discourse, where the flesh is the great metaphor of his Divine humanity, and the blood is the expressive description of his awful sacrifice. He, the Life-giver, the Living One, the Bread of life, the living Bread, will give himself to what men call death, that they, apprehending fully, adequately accepting the greatness of the Divine gift, may, like himself, transform death (so called death) into the portal of eternal life. These words are the new starting point for this great disclosure. The very inner thought of Jesus seems to shape itself as we read. The Paschal sacrifice, eaten at that season as the sign that the theocratic nation had been chosen to covenant and eternal relation with Jehovah, must have been present to his mind. His own approaching death and sacrifice, by which he would bind those who receive him into an eternal covenant with himself, his relation to the whole world, the gift of the Father to him, the gift of himself to the world by the Father, - all are presented to him, and the movements of his great heart reveal themselves as he proceeds. <a href="/commentaries/john/6-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>I ἐγώ (egō) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative 1st Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1473.htm">Strong's 1473: </a> I, the first-person pronoun.
