Jesus wanted those people to see him, not as a source of mere physical food, but as a spiritual provision from God, as the one whose life and death as a man would make eternal life possible for others.
Jeesus ei tahtnud, et need inimesed näeksid temas ainult füüsilise toidu allikat, vaid kui vaimset andi Jumalalt, isikut, kelle elu ja surm inimesena teeb võimalikuks igavese elu.
