Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on John 6:61
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
John 6:61 · Douay-Rheims
“But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?”
On this verse:
“Doth this offend . . . What and if, &c.--that is, "If ye are stumbled at what I have said, how will ye bear what I now say?" Not that His ascension itself would stumble them more than His death, but that after recoiling from the mention of the one, they would not be in a state of mind to take in the other.”
