49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
49 Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 6:49
Commentary on John 6:47-51
(Read John 6:47-51)
The advantage of the manna was small, it only referred to this life; but the living Bread is so excellent, that the man who feedeth on it shall never die. This bread is Christ's human nature, which he took to present to the Father, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world; to purchase all things pertaining to life and godliness, for sinners of every nation, who repent and believe in him.
