This is that bread Better, this is the Bread:see on John 6:48. The verse is a general summing up of the whole, returning from the imagery of Flesh and Blood to the main expression of the discourse the Bread that came down from heaven and its superiority to all earthly food.

not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead Better, not as the Fathers did eat and died (see on John 6:49): -your" and -manna" are wanting in the best MSS. It is not in that way that theBread comes down from heaven, nor is it such food.

eateth of Omit -of," as in John 6:54; John 6:56: -of" is rightly inserted in John 6:26; John 6:50.
