41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
41 At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him:
41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."
41 Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
27 But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."
27 But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from."
27 And yet we know where this man came from. The Messiah is going to come out of nowhere. Nobody is going to know where he comes from."
27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."
27 But how could he be? For we know where this man comes from. When the Messiah comes, he will simply appear; no one will know where he comes from."
(Read John 7:25-30)
Christ proclaimed aloud, that they were in error in their thoughts about his origin. He was sent of God, who showed himself true to his promises. This declaration, that they knew not God, with his claim to peculiar knowledge, provoked the hearers; and they sought to take him, but God can tie men's hands, though he does not turn their hearts.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 6:41
Commentary on John 6:36-46
(Read John 6:36-46)
The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation. The Father's will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him. No one will come, till Divine grace has subdued, and in part changed his heart; therefore no one who comes will ever be cast out. The gospel finds none willing to be saved in the humbling, holy manner, made known therein; but God draws with his word and the Holy Ghost; and man's duty is to hear and learn; that is to say, to receive the grace offered, and consent to the promise. None had seen the Father but his beloved Son; and the Jews must expect to be taught by his inward power upon their minds, and by his word, and the ministers whom he sent among them.
