The purpose of the work is to bring the crowd to faith in Jesus. We stopped in verse 33 where Jesus said that the bread is to give life to the world. Did the crowd understand that they too were a part of the world to whom the bread was given? This post will take apart John 6:34-36.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The request of the crowd<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The crowd asked Jesus for the bread which was being offered. There was no sign that the crowd viewed Jesus&#8217; words as exempting them from receiving what He was giving. Their words were clear.\u00a0Let&#8217;s look carefully at the words of the crowd. The crowd said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:34 (NASB)\u00a0Then they said to Him, \u201cLord, always give<strong> us<\/strong> this bread.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Why did the crowd say give &#8220;us&#8221; this bread? They said these words because they knew what the term &#8220;world&#8221; meant as Jesus used it in that context. Jesus said that the bread was for &#8220;the life of the world.&#8221; The use of the term &#8220;world&#8221; by Jesus was not said in a limited context, and the crowd believed that they could ask for this special bread&#8230; so they asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:34 (NASB)\u00a0Then they said to Him, \u201cLord, always\u00a0<strong>give\u00a0<\/strong>us\u00a0this bread.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">By using the term &#8220;give&#8221; and not &#8220;pay&#8221;, the crowd understood Jesus to be saying that the bread was something to be granted.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><br \/>\nThe crowd also said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:34 (NASB)\u00a0Then they said to Him, \u201cLord, <strong>always<\/strong>\u00a0give us\u00a0this bread.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The term &#8220;always&#8221; is a temporal adverb. According to Dr. Daniel Wallace in his Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, the temporal adverb is an adverb which modifies the\u00a0modifi\u00e9 with reference to <em>time or timing<\/em>. Thus the crowd thought The Giving, was to be a <em><strong>constant giving,<\/strong><\/em> over and over again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Jesus&#8217; answer<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Now let&#8217;s look carefully at Jesus&#8217; words as well as John&#8217;s comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) Jesus said <strong>to them<\/strong>, &#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John does not leave out that Jesus&#8217; words were a reply to <em>the crowd<\/em>. John then quotes Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230; \u201c<strong>I am<\/strong> <strong>the bread <\/strong>&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Jesus claims to <em><strong>BE<\/strong><\/em> the bread that is given. The crowd is wanting to be given something that will give them life. Jesus said <em><strong>He<\/strong><\/em> is that something. <em><strong>He<\/strong><\/em> is the bread that they are asking for. Jesus also claimed, as the bread that endures to eternal life, to be the source of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230; \u201cI am the bread <em><strong>of life<\/strong><\/em>; &#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Jesus continues speaking to the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230; <strong>he who<\/strong> comes to Me&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The term for &#8220;he who&#8221; is the article &#8220;the.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230; he who <strong>comes to Me<\/strong>&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;Comes&#8221; is present nominative, which means the verb renames the subject, thus &#8220;he who comes&#8221; is in the Greek grammar &#8220;<em><strong>the coming one<\/strong><\/em>.&#8221; The present tense means that the action is in <\/span>process<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"> and continues with no assessment of its completion. Thus &#8220;the coming one&#8221; is the one\u00a0<em><strong>continuing to come<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230; he who comes to Me <strong>will not hunger<\/strong>, &#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">According to Jesus, the &#8220;coming one,&#8221; the one who continually comes to Jesus, is the one who will not hunger.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">John 6:35 (NASB) &#8230;and <strong>he who believes<\/strong> in Me&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;He who believes&#8221; is the same grammar as &#8220;He who comes.&#8221; \u00a0It is &#8220;<em><strong>the believing one<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; (present, active, nominative), the one who<em><strong> continues<\/strong><\/em> to believe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Jesus used &#8220;coming&#8221; and &#8220;believing&#8221; interchangeably.
