How much time had elapsed since the beginning of Jesus' ministry? About one year, as this is the second "Passover" (John 6:4) mentioned, so Jesus is one-third into His three-year ministry. This Passover is also six months after the previous "feast of the Jews" mentioned in John 5, which shows that the Gospel of John, like the other three Gospels, is not a diary. Each of the four Gospel writers described the highlights of Jesus' ministry as led by the Holy Spirit, so there are overlaps, & elements unique to each. Why did "a great multitude" (John 6:2) follow Jesus? Was Jesus' question, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” (John 6:5) to Philip intended to start a private chat? Since at least one other disciple, Andrew, also replied to the question, it was heard by more than just Philip, and probably all of the twelve disciples.

John 6.15-21 STUDY GUIDE
THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Small Group Discussion Guide Text: John 6:15-21 Theme/ Big Idea: Jesus is “I Am” who comes offering peace in the midst of chaos and life in the midst of death. Context/ Background Information: In John 6:1-14, Jesus miraculously provided bread in the wilderness. According to Matthew and Mark, “immediately after” feeding the 5,000 Jesus made the disciples get into a boat while he remained behind to disperse the crowds and pray (Matt 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-52). John 6:15 provides a likely motive for moving so quickly to send the disciples away. In verse 15, the crowds wanted to “take him by force and make him king.” Remarkably, Jesus’ actions reveal he is not interested in being the earthly king the people wanted nor was he interested in his disciples adopting the perspective of the crowd. Instead, we are told Jesus withdrew to the mountain by himself. Rather than fulfill their expectations and become the king they wanted, Jesus is concerned with being the king they desperately need. Think about it, if ever there was a time to fall in line with the expectations of the people and attempt to overthrow Rome, it was when 10 to 15,000 people were ready to make Jesus king. Yet Jesus resisted their expectations and withdrew. The reason, according to John 18:36, is because Jesus’ “kingdom is not of this world.” Rome is infinitely too small a throne for him. Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of Hosts and John captures that vividly in the miracle of Jesus walking on the water.

The Gospel of John Nicodemus Had a Difficult Time with Jesus. He
Life & Teachings of Jesus Lecture 37, page 1 The Gospel of John Nicodemus had a difficult time with Jesus. He thought he was going to have a nice conversation, but things did not go as he planned. Jesus knew how to be polite, but He also knew that was not what Nicodemus needed. We understand the story because we have heard it many of times and we have had terms like “born again” and “Son of Man” explained to us. But Nicodemus has never heard of the Son of Man. He does not understand Jesus when He says, “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up.” But the scene happened for our sake, as John explains. There is some disagreement about the speaker is in John 3:16, but I think it is best understood to be John, making an editorial comment, rather than Jesus continuing to speak to Nicodemus. The verse says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus did not refer to Himself as “the Son,” though He did call Himself “Son of Man.” He did not use the former phrase because He was veiling His identity during His life on earth so people did not get the wrong idea. He was not yet revealing He was the Son of God. It was not time, for this was the beginning of His ministry and people would not have understood it properly.

Signs of God in the Gospel of John a Note to Teachers
Signs of God in the Gospel of John A Note to Teachers Hopefully, the lessons speak for themselves, but I thought it might be helpful to offer some quick thoughts on the goals and overarching themes of this series on Jesus’s miracles in John’s Gospel. In this series, I want to take seriously John’s choice to use the word “sign” when presenting Jesus’s miracles. For John, the miracles point to something, and we can’t do justice to John’s Gospel without exploring what they’re pointing to. It’s often assumed that the signs point to the identity of Jesus. They reveal his power and, thereby, affirm his identity as Son of God and Messiah. That’s certainly true, and John tells us as much in his conclusion (John 20:30). But, within John’s theology, we can’t stop there. John tells us in his introduction that the Word has come into the world to reveal God. And throughout the gospel, Jesus will tell people that the Son speaks and acts as the Father speaks and acts. To see the Son is to see the Father. Thus, if the signs point to Jesus’s identity, they also at the same time point to God’s identity. The signs provide one way that the Word fulfills his mission to reveal God. Therefore, as we study the various signs in John’s Gospel, we’ll spend time appreciating the details of each story; but we’ll always come back to the overriding question, “What is Jesus showing us about God through this sign?” That’s the main question to ponder as you prepare your lessons, and that’s the main question to discuss in class.

Nabor: Sacramentality of the "Bread of Life Discourse" in Jn 6 The Sacramentality of the “Bread of Life Discourse” in John 6 Anthony Nabor In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus issues a challenging teaching to the Jews following him concerning salvation, giving his famous “Bread of Life Discourse” (6:51-58). This sermon not only tested the faith of those following Jesus on his journey to Jerusalem, but has also shaped Christian practice and theology in the two millennia since. While many who read the “Bread of Life Discourse” believe that it concerns the sacrament of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, the passage more likely continues the lesson of the rest of John 6 by emphasizing faith in Jesus through a metaphor. Though the evangelist did not consider chronology in the same way as current readers, the sacramental-sounding language used in the “Bread of Life Discourse” is not in and of itself sufficient to justify a sacramental reading.

John 6: 60-71 John 7: 1-13 John 7: 14-24
John 6: 60-71 60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?":61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? 62 What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.":66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." 70 Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.) 1. In verse 61-62 what question was Jesus really asking the followers? 2. What place was Jesus referring to in verse 62? 3. What does Jesus mean in the first part of verse 63? 4.

Gospel Reading John 6:1-15 Brief Commentary
CATHOLIC CONVERSATIONS ON THE SCRIPTURES Archdiocese of Miami - Ministry of Christian Formation th July 26, 2009 17 Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle B) Gospel reading John 6:1-15 Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves* and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.

The Significance of Christ's Physical Resurrection
The Significance of Christ's Physical Resurrection Norman L. Geisler Dean, Center for Research and Scholarship Liberty University Graduate School of Religion, Lynchburg, Virginia The New Testament declares that without Christ's bodily res urrection there is no salvation (Rom. 10:9-10). For He "was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justifi cation" (Rom. 4:25). The physical resurrection of Christ's body is just as much a part of the gospel as His death (1 Cor. 15:1-5). The Apos tle Paul insisted that if Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead, then (a) the faith of believers is useless, (b) they are still in their sins, (c) departed loved ones are lost, (d) the apostles are false witnesses, and (e) "we are of all men most to be pitied" (1 Cor. 15:14-19).! The Orthodox View of the Resurrection Body of Christ Orthodox Christianity has always confessed two things about the resurrection body of Christ. First, it was the same physical body in which Jesus was crucified. Second, Jesus' body, at the moment it was resurrected, became an immortal, glorified body, a body that was physical but was also imperishable. Both are important to a biblical view of the resurrection, but the former is the primary focus of this discussion. In his classic History of Christian Doctrine, William G. T. Shedd noted that "the doctrine of the resurrection of the body was from the beginning a cardinal and striking tenet of the Christian *• A previous version of this argument appeared in Norman L Geisler, "The Apolo getic Significance of the Bodily Resurrection of Christ," Bulletin of the Evangelical Philosophical Society 10 (1987) 15-37 148 The Significance of Christ's Physical Resurrection 149 Church."2 Historically the bodily resurrection has been taken to mean a literal physical body.
