Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on John 6:31

“Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”

“Our fathers did eat manna, &c.--insinuating the inferiority of Christ's miracle of the loaves to those of Moses: "When Moses claimed the confidence of the fathers, 'he gave them bread from heaven to eat'--not for a few thousands, but for millions, and not once only, but daily throughout their wilderness journey."”
