Some of the Judeans started to grumble about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
I am the bread of life.
For the bread of God is the One coming down from heaven and giving life to the world.”
There was a lot of murmuring about Him in the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “Not so! He leads the people astray.”
From this time, many of His disciples left and quit walking with Him.

These are bellyaching grumblers, following after their own desires. Their mouth speaks grandiose things, showing favoritism for the sake of gain.
This is the bread that came down from heaven—not like the bread your fathers ate and then died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
Yeshua answered, “Stop grumbling among yourselves!

The Pharisees and the Torah scholars began to complain, saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
The Pharisees and their Torah scholars began murmuring to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
