“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 (KJV)
Commentary on John 6:63
After the hard teaching about eating His flesh and drinking His blood, Jesus clarifies: 'It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.' Spiritual understanding, not literal cannibalism, is His meaning. The Spirit gives life; physical elements (flesh, bread) have no saving power apart from spiritual reality. 'The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life' indicates His teaching must be spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). This distinguishes Christianity from mere ritualism.
