SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:22–59: Jesus is the bread that gives life

In this section Jesus spoke in figurative language about how he himself is the source of eternal life. He called himself “the bread of life” and said that people must “eat” his flesh and “drink” his blood. These words caused a lot of argument.

Paragraph 6:43–51

In this paragraph Jesus answered those who criticized him. He told them that only God could cause them to have faith in him. If they believed on him, they would receive eternal life.

6:48

I am the bread of life.

¶ “I am the bread/food that gives life.
¶ “I am like bread/food that enables you^(sing) to live spiritually.

I am the bread of life: This is a metaphor. Jesus compared himself to bread. The point of comparison is that he gives spiritual life, just as bread gives physical life. This metaphor is also used in 6:35a. See the note there and how you translated this clause there. Here are other ways that you can translate this verse:

I am the bread that gives life! (CEV)

I am like food that gives spiritual life.

uW Translation Notes:
