Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven." — John 6:32 (ASV)
Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
Moses did not give Israel the manna; God gave it. And it did not come from heaven; that is, from the celestial sphere, in the sense in which Christ, the true Bread, came from heaven.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. (John 6:32)
"That which will really feed you, and feed you for all eternity."
Moses could not give the people that bread; the Father only can give "the true bread from heaven."
