‏ John 6:32

It was not Moses that gave you ( ου Μωυσης εδωκεν υμιν ). "Not Moses gave you." Blunt and pointed denial (aorist active indicative of διδωμ ) that Moses was the giver of the bread from heaven (the manna). Moses was not superior to Christ on this score.

But my Father ( αλλ ο πατηρ μου ). Not "our Father," but same claim as in 5:17f. Which caused so much anger in Jerusalem.

Gives ( διδωσιν ). Present active indicative, not aorist ( εδωκεν ). Continual process.

The true bread out of heaven ( τον αρτον εκ του ουρανου τον αληθινον ). "The bread out of heaven" as the manna and more "the genuine bread" of which that was merely a type. On αληθινος see 1:9; 4:23.
