34, 35. They at once ask that He would give them this bread always. They evidently think that He speaks of some excellent food like the manna, which would support their corporal existence, and they desire to be constantly supplied with it. But as they know not _what_ they ask, nor _how_ they should be disposed to receive it, He tells them—(1) What the bread is, namely, Himself; and (2) what is required for a proper and fruitful reception of it, namely, faith in Himself. The words: *He that cometh to Me*, mean the same thing as: *He that believeth in Me*. The believer shall *never thirst*; because, if he act upon his belief, he will receive Christ in the Eucharist, and be spiritually filled, never again to thirst, except through his own fault. 36. Sed dixi vobis, quia et 36. But I said unto you, that vidistis me, et non creditis. you also have seen me, and you believe not. 37. Omne quod dat mihi Pater, 37. All that the Father giveth ad me veniet: et eum qui venit me shall come to me; and him ad me, non ejiciam foras: that cometh to me, I will not cast out. 36, 37. Christ again, as in verse 26, reproves their want of faith, and declares that those who believe in Him, do so through the grace of the Father; and all such He receives and rejects not. 38. Quia descendi de coelo, 38. Because I came down from non ut faciam voluntatem meam heaven, not to do my own will, sed voluntatem eius qui misit but the will of him that sent me. me. 39. Hac est autem voluntas 39. Now this is the will of eius qui misit me, Patris: ut the Father who sent me; that omne quod dedit mihi, non of all that he hath given me, perdam ex eo, sed resuscitem I should lose nothing, but illud in novissimo die. should raise it up again in the last day. 40. Haec est autem voluntas 40. And this is the will of my Patris mei, qui misit me: ut Father that sent me; that omnis qui videt Filium, et every one who seeth the Son, credit in eum, habeat vitam and believeth in him, may have aeternam, et ego resuscitabo life everlasting, and I will eum in novissimo die. raise him up in the last day. 38‐40. He declares the reason why He does not reject such: because He came down on earth to do His father’s will; and that will is that all who recognize in Him the Son of God and believe in Him as such (acting according to that belief), should be raised up to a glorious life on the last day.
