Contextual Overview

²⁸They all replied, "We want to rope, ride, and brand for God's outfit too. What do we have to do first to saddle up with ya?" ²⁹Jesus said, "There is only one thing you have to do. Give your whole life to the Top Hand that God has sent ya." ³⁰They pondered this for a second and then someone shouted out, "Well, show us a miracle so that we know you are the Top Hand. We want to see what you can do. I mean, our ancestors got to eat bread from heaven while they rode across the desert. ³¹The Good Book says, 'Moses gave 'em biscuits from heaven to eat.'" ³²Jesus shot back, "The truth is, Moses didn't give nobody nothin'. My Father did. And now he is offerin' y'all the real bread from heaven. ³³The real bread of God gives life, not full bellies." ³⁴"Well," they replied, "give us this bread every day like our ancestors had, and we'll eat it." ³⁵Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whoever rides for me will never be hungry again. Whoever gives his life to me will never be thirsty. ³⁶I'm standing right here in front of you, but you still don't believe I am who I say I am. ³⁷My Father will send the true cowboys to me, and I will never turn them away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,.... In the way and manner just now mentioned: and which clearly points out Christ himself, who may be called "the bread of God"; to distinguish him from common bread, and to show the excellency of him, and that he is of God's providing and giving, and which he would have his children feed upon:

and giveth life unto the world; a spiritual life, which he is the author, supporter, and maintainer of; and eternal life, which he gives a right unto and meetness for, and nourishes up unto; and this not to a few only, or to the Israelites only, but to the Gentiles also, and even to the whole world of God's elect: not indeed to every individual in the world, for all are not quickened now, not shall inherit eternal life hereafter; but to all the people of God, in all parts of the world, and in all ages of time; of such extensive virtue and efficacy is Christ, the bread of God, in which he appears greatly superior to that manna the Jews instance in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The bread of God - The means of support which God furnishes. That which, in his view, is needful for man.

Is he ... - Is the Messiah who has come from heaven.

And giveth life ... - See the notes at John 1:4.
