John 6:51-52

6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread ¹  that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

6:52 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus ²  began to argue with one another, ³  “How can this man ⁴  give us his flesh to eat?”

[6:51]  ¹ tn Grk “And the bread.”

[6:52]  ² tn Grk “Then the Jews began to argue.” Here the translation restricts the phrase to those Jews who were hostile to Jesus (cf. BDAG 479 s.v. ᾿Ιουδαῖος 2.e.β), since the “crowd” mentioned in 6:22-24 was almost all Jewish (as suggested by their addressing Jesus as “Rabbi” (6:25). See also the note on the phrase “the Jews who were hostile to Jesus” in v. 41.

[6:52]  ³ tn Grk “with one another, saying.”

[6:52]  ⁴ tn Grk “this one,” “this person.”
