John 6:27

Labor not for the meat that perisheth.

The Savior does not prohibit laboring for food, but making the acquisition of food and worldly things the leading object of life. He means: Do not manifest. chief anxiety for bodily food, for the food that perishes with the using, but rather seek

the meat that endureth to eternal life.

The food of the soul; the Bread of Life. He had discoursed with the woman at Sychar of that which imparted eternal life to the soul under the similitude of water: he here speaks of the same things under the similitude of food. Our Lord bids us work for the food of eternal life. How few are doing it! This food he declares that the Son of Man will give.

Him hath the Father sealed.

Sealing is the mark of approval, of authority.. legal document must bear the seal of the State to give it force. The Father had commissioned, authorized, and stamped his seal upon the work of the Son. His miracles were. divine seal. In the East. document was always authenticated by the seal of the maker, instead of by the signature of. name, as with us.
