Moses gave you not Christ shews them that He quite understands their insinuation: they are comparing Him unfavourably with Moses. He denies both their points; (1) that Moses gave the manna; (2) that the manna was in the truest sense bread from heaven.

giveth you the true bread, &c. Literally, giveth you the bread out of heaven(which is) the true bread; -true" in the sense of -real" and -perfect" (see on John 1:9); the manna was but the type, and therefore imperfect. Note the change of tense from -gave" to -giveth:" God is continually giving the true bread; it is not a thing granted at one time and then no more, like the manna.
