John 6:41–42 ESV So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”Question #1What caused the Jews to complain (murmur) about Jesus in verses 41–42, and what does this reveal about their understanding of Him?John 6:43–46 ESV Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.Question #2In verses 43–45, what does Jesus teach about how people come to Him, and what role does the Father play in that process?John 6:48–51 ESV I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”Question #3What does Jesus mean when He says He is the “bread of life” in verses 48–51?John 6:52–56 ESV The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.Question #4Why did many struggle with Jesus’ teaching about eating His flesh and drinking His blood (verses 52–56)?John 6:57–58 ESV As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”Question #5According to verses 57–58, what is the relationship between Jesus, the Father, and those who “feed” on Him?John 6:60–65 ESV When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”Question #6In verse 60, many disciples said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” What made Jesus’ teaching difficult for them to accept?Question #7What does Jesus reveal in verses 63–65 about the nature of His words and why some do not believe?John 6:66–70 ESV After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.”Question #8In verses 66–69, many disciples turned away, but Peter remained. What does Peter’s response teach us about true faith and commitment to Christ?John 6:41–42NKJV
