Matthew Poole and continuators on John 6:35

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life ; He that cometh to me, shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst .

The Bread that giveth Spiritual and Eternal Life, and the Bread that upholdeth and maintaineth Spiritual Life. The Messiah, whom God hath sent into the World, to quicken those that are dead in Trespasses and Sins, Eph. 2.1. And to give Eternal Life to as many as the Father hath given me: But those that have this Life, must come unto me; which he Interprets in the next Phrase by believing in him: Thus he taketh them off all gross and Carnal Conceptions of eating and drinking in a Carnal manner; and minds them to think of getting and maintaining another kind of Life than they dreamt of. By believing in him, we have formerly shewed is to be understood a receiving of him as the Mediator and Saviour of men, and closing with him, and committing their Souls in all their Spiritual concerns unto him;

and he that doth so (saith he) shall never hunger nor thirst: That is, shall never want any thing necessary for him for Life and Eternal Happiness. And for things of this Life, he shall have Food convenient for him; he shall be fed, Psal. 37.3. See such a Promise, Isaiah 49. v. 10.
