John 6:63
That quickeneth ( το ζωοποιουν ). Articular present active participle of ζωοποιεω for which see 5:21. For the contrast between πνευμα (spirit) and σαρξ (flesh) see already 3:6.The words ( τα ρηματα ). Those in this discourse (I have just spoken, λελαληκα ), for they are the words of God (3:34; 8:47; 17:8). No wonder they "are spirit and are life" ( πνευμα εστιν κα ζωη εστιν ). The breath of God and the life of God is in these words of Jesus. Never man spoke like Jesus (7:46). There is life in his words today.
