Charles Ellicott Commentary John 6:47

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life." — John 6:47 (ASV)

He that believeth.—This thought gives a new force to what He has said in John 6:40. There He declared the Father’s will, that every one seeing the Son and believing on Him may have eternal life. No man had ever seen the Father, but the Son was then standing in human form before them, and this will was being accomplished, and for the believer eternal life was not only of the future but of the actual present, He hath eternal life. (John 5:24.)
