Matthew Poole and continuators on John 6:52

52 The Jews therefore strove amongst themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat ?

They will still understand Spiritual things in a Carnal sense; yet it is hard to conceive how they could imagine that Christ spake of giving them his Flesh to eat, as men eat the flesh of Oxen or Sheep; but which way soever they did understand it indeed, their captious temper inclined them to conceal any other sense they had of it▪ and to represent what our Saviour said, as exceeding absurd.
