61 When G1161 Jesus G2424 knew G1492 in G1722 himself G1438 that G3754 his G846 disciples G3101 murmured G1111 at G4012 it, G5127 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Doth this G5124 offend G4624 you? G5209
62 What and G3767 if G1437 ye shall see G2334 the Son G5207 of man G444 ascend up G305 where G3699 he was G2258 before? G4386
63 It is G2076 the spirit G4151 that quickeneth; G2227 the flesh G4561 G3756 profiteth G5623 nothing: G3762 the words G4487 that G3739 I G1473 speak G2980 unto you, G5213 they are G2076 spirit, G4151 and G2532 they are G2076 life. G2222
64 But G235 there are G1526 some G5100 of G1537 you G5216 that G3739 believe G4100 not. G3756 For G1063 Jesus G2424 knew G1492 from G1537 the beginning G746 who G5101 they were G1526 that believed G4100 not, G3361 and G2532 who G5101 should G2076 betray G3860 him. G846
65 And G2532 he said, G3004 Therefore G1223 G5124 said I G2046 unto you, G5213 that G3754 no man G3762 can G1410 come G2064 unto G4314 me, G3165 except G3362 it were G5600 given G1325 unto him G846 of G1537 my G3450 Father. G3962

Commentary on John 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have,
Jhn 6:1-14
We have here an account of Christ's feeding five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes, which miracle is in this respect remarkable, that it is the only passage of the actions of Christ's life that is recorded by all the four evangelists. John, who does not usually relate what had been recorded by those who wrote before him, yet relates this, because of the reference the following discourse has to it. Observe,
Jhn 6:15-21
Here is,
Jhn 6:22-27
In these verses we have,
Jhn 6:28-59
Whether this conference was with the Capernaites, in whose synagogue Christ now was, or with those who came from the other side of the sea, is not certain nor material; however, it is an instance of Christ's condescension that he gave them leave to ask him questions, and did not resent the interruption as an affront, no, not from his common hearers, though not his immediate followers. Those that would be apt to teach must be swift to hear, and study to answer. It is the wisdom of teachers, when they are asked even impertinent unprofitable questions, thence to take occasion to answer in that which is profitable, that the question may be rejected, but not the request. Now,
Jhn 6:60-71
We have here an account of the effects of Christ's discourse. Some were offended and others edified by it; some driven from him and others brought nearer to him.
