OT-PROPHET.filter - rwp John:6:51:

rwp@John:6:51 @{The living bread} (\ho artos ho zn\). "The bread the living." Repetition of the claim in 35,41,48|, but with a slight change from \zs\ to \zn\ (present active participle of \za\). It is alive and can give life. See strkjv@4:10| for living water. In strkjv@Revelation:1:17| Jesus calls himself the Living One (\ho zn\). {For ever} (\eis ton aina\). Eternally like \ainion\ with \zn\ in 47|. {I shall give} (\eg ds\). Emphasis on \eg\ (I). Superior so to Moses. {Is my flesh} (\h sarx mou estin\). See on ¯1:14| for \sarx\ the Incarnation. This new idea creates far more difficulty to the hearers who cannot grasp Christ's idea of self-sacrifice. {For the life of the world} (\huper ts tou kosmou zs\). Over, in behalf of, \huper\ means, and in some connexions instead of as in strkjv@11:50|. See strkjv@1:30| for the Baptist's picture of Christ as the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. See also strkjv@3:17; strkjv@4:42; strkjv@1John:3:16; strkjv@Matthew:20:28; strkjv@Galatians:3:13; strkjv@2Corinthians:5:14f.; strkjv@Romans:5:8|. Jesus has here presented to this Galilean multitude the central fact of his atoning death for the spiritual life of the world.
