John 6
1. Jesus feeds five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes.
15. Thereupon the people would have made him king;
16. but withdrawing himself, he walks on the sea to his disciples;
26. reproves the people flocking after him, and all the fleshly hearers of his word;
32. declares himself to be the bread of life to believers.
66. Many disciples depart from him.
68. Peter confesses him.
70. Judas is a devil.














We have come to believe
This phrase signifies a journey of faith and understanding. The Greek word used here is "πιστεύω" (pisteuō), which means to have faith or to trust. This is not a passive belief but an active, ongoing trust in Jesus Christ. The disciples, through their experiences and the teachings of Jesus, have reached a point of conviction. This reflects the process of discipleship, where faith is not just a momentary decision but a continual growth in understanding and trust in Jesus as the Messiah.

and to know
The Greek word for "know" is "γινώσκω" (ginōskō), which implies a deep, intimate knowledge. This is not merely intellectual assent but a relational understanding. In the biblical context, knowing often involves a personal relationship, as seen in the Hebrew word "yada" used in the Old Testament. The disciples' knowledge of Jesus is not just about recognizing Him as a historical figure but knowing Him personally as the Son of God. This knowledge is transformative, affecting how they live and interact with the world.

that You are the Holy One of God
This title, "the Holy One of God," is significant. In the Old Testament, holiness is a key attribute of God, denoting His purity, separateness, and divine nature. The Greek term "ἅγιος" (hagios) is used here, which means sacred or set apart. By calling Jesus the Holy One, the disciples acknowledge His divine nature and His unique role in God's redemptive plan. This confession aligns with Peter's earlier declaration in Matthew 16:16, where he calls Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the living God. It underscores the recognition of Jesus' divine authority and mission.

(69) And we believe and are sure.--Better, We have believed and are sure. (Comp. John 1:41-42.) Go away? The faith which first burned in their hearts has passed into the calm certainty of settled knowledge.

Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God, has found its way into this place from the confession of Matthew 16:16. The almost certain reading here is, Thou art the Holy One of God. They had heard this title ascribed to Him by beings from the spirit world (comp. Note on Mark 1:24), and it has been, perhaps, suggested by the present discourse (John 6:32; John 6:46). Like the title Messiah, or Christ, it marks out the consecration to His work. (Comp. John 10:30; 1John 2:20; Revelation 3:7.) The true reading brings out the successive confessions, which are certainly twice, and probably three times, spoken by Peter. This is the second, coming between that of Matthew 14:33 and that of Matthew 16:16. (See Notes at these places.) . . .
