Pois a minha carne é verdadeiramente uma comida e o meu sangue, verdadeiramente uma bebida.
João 6:55

Comentário de E.W. Bullinger

de fato = verdadeiramente. Grego. alethos. Todos os textos leem em alethes (App-175), mas não o siríaco.

Comentário de John Calvin

55. For my flesh is truly food. He confirms the same statement by other words, “As the body is weakened and consumed by the want of food, so the soul, if it be not fed with heavenly bread, will soon perish with hunger.” For when he declares that his flesh is truly food, he means that souls are famished, if they want that food. Then only wilt thou find life in Christ, when thou shalt seek the nourishment of life in his flesh. Thus we ought to boast, with Paul, that we reckon nothing to be excellent but Christ crucified; because, as soon as we have departed from the sacrifice of his death, we meet with nothing but death; nor is there any other road that conducts us to a perception of his Divine power than through his death and resurrection. Embrace Christ, therefore, as the Servant of the Father , ( Isaiah 42:1 ,) that he may show himself to thee to be the Prince of life , ( Acts 3:15 .) For when he emptied himself , ( Philippians 2:7 ,) in this manner we were enriched with abundance of all blessings; his humiliation and descent into hell raised us to heaven; and, by enduring the curse of his cross, he erected the banner of our righteousness as a splendid memorial of his victory. (165) Consequently, they are false expounders of the mystery of the Lord’s Supper, (166) who draw away souls from the flesh of Christ.

And my blood is truly drink. But why does Christ mention his blood separately, when it is included in the word flesh ? I reply, he did so in condescension to our weakness. For when he expressly mentions food and drink, he declares that the life which he bestows is complete in every respect, that we may not imagine to ourselves a life which is only half or imperfect; as if he had said, that we shall want nothing that belongs to life, provided that we eat his flesh and drink his blood. Thus also in the Lord’s Supper, which corresponds to this doctrine, not satisfied with the symbol of the bread , he adds also the cup, que, tendo nele uma dupla promessa, podemos aprender a ficar satisfeitos somente com ele; pois nunca um homem encontrará parte da vida em Cristo, até que tenha nele uma vida inteira e completa.

Comentário de Adam Clarke

Minha carne é carne de verdade, e meu sangue é bebida de verdade – ou melhor, minha carne é a carne verdadeira etc. . Esta leitura é suportada pelo BCKLT e por mais vinte e um outros; ambos os árabes, coptas, sahídicos, armênios, duas cópias de Itala, Clemente, Orígenes, Cirilo, Crisóstomo e Damasceno. Nosso Senhor considera sua carne, a verdadeira carne e seu sangue a verdadeira bebida, porque aqueles que receberam a graça merecida por sua morte seriam realmente nutridos e apoiados por isso para a vida eterna. Ele se chama a videira verdadeira, João 15: 1 , exatamente no mesmo sentido em que se chama pão verdadeiro, João 6:32 , e a verdadeira carne e bebida neste versículo.

Comentário de John Wesley

Pois minha carne é carne, e meu sangue é bebida.

Carne – beba de fato – Com a qual a alma de um crente é tão verdadeiramente alimentada quanto seu corpo com carne e bebida.
