John 6 - Introduction

CHAP. 6. CHRIST THE SUPPORT OF LIFE

This chapter, like the last, contains a discourse arising out of a miracle. It contains moreover an element wanting in the previous chapter,—the results of the discourse. Thus we obtain three divisions; 1. The Sign on the Land, the Sign on the Lake, and the Sequel of the Signs (1–25). 2. The Discourse on the Son as the Support of Life (26–59). (3) The opposite Results of the Discourse (60–71).
