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.

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...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from ‘heaven’, and giveth life unto the world. The Bread of God is Jesus Christ himself. The man who would feed so as to satisfy his spiritual nature, and live thereby, must feed upon Jesus Christ himself.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. “The bread of God is he.” What a strange expression, yet what a true one!

At least some of them: Lord, evermore give us this bread; that is so divine and heavenly, and has such a quickening virtue in it: these words are said by them either seriously, and to be understood of bread for their bodies, of which they imagined Christ was speaking; and so sprung from ignorance of his sense; and from...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. They said this, not knowing what they said, and not understanding what he meant. Bread for the body was all that they wanted; their cry was, “Give us bread, and we are contempt;” they had no spiritual appetite for Christ, “the bread of God.”

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life,.... Christ is so called, because he gives life to dead sinners: men in a state of nature are dead in trespasses and sins; and whatever they feed upon tends to death; Christ, the true bread, only gives life, which is conveyed by the word, and made effectual by the Spirit: and because he supports and...

But I said unto you,.... The substance of what follows in John 6:26 though the Persic and Ethiopic versions render it, "I say unto you"; and so refers not to anything before said, but to what he was about to say: that ye also have seen me, and believe not; that is, they had not only seen him in person, which many kings, prophets, and righteous men...
