Charles Ellicott Commentary John 6:33

"For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world." — John 6:33 (ASV)

He which.—Better, that which. The identification with Himself does not occur before John 6:35. This verse is a fuller expression of the last clause of John 6:32, to which each term answers.

“My Father giveth” . . . . . “the bread of God.”
“The (ideally) true bread” . . . . . “giveth life unto the world.”
“From heaven” . . . . . “which cometh down from heaven.”

The tenses are present. (Compare Notes on John 6:50-51.) The manna in the wilderness was but one instance of that which is constant. The Jewish nation was but a unit in the Father’s family. The bread of God ever comes and ever gives life, and the life which it gives is for the world. Every word proceeding from the mouth of God, spoken in many portions and in many ways, was part of the true food for the true life of man.
