“Hic est panis de cælo descendens : ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur.”
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof , and not die.”
“This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.”
“This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.”
“This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.”
by nature, or in respect of unbelief, did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are naturally dead; (manna would not always preserve their natural life); and those of them who were unbelievers, are also dead eternally; their eating of manna, which was a type of me, without believing in me, would not save them.
Verses 47-51 The advantage of the manna was small, it only referred to this life; but the living Bread is so excellent, that the man who feedeth on it shall never die. This bread is Christ's human nature, which he took to present to the Father, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world; to purchase all things pertaining to life and godliness, for sinners of every nation, who repent and believe in him.
