Commentaries
Eucharistic Discourse
The people seek Jesus, but their faith is immature; they focus only on the superficial display of the Master’s works. Jesus responds and begins His extensive and profound Eucharistic discourse.
Jesus, Food that Does Not Perish
(22-27). The evangelist states that no one can obtain food that does not perish on its own; however, everyone must do everything possible to accept the food that the Lord offers us. The contrast between food that perishes and food that lasts for eternal life is typical of John. The Son of Man will give food that does not perish.
