“The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, 'I am the bread that came down from heaven.' — the Jews' murmuring (gogguzo) recalls Israelite wilderness complaint. The specific offense is Jesus' claim to have come down from heaven, which seems to contradict his earthly origin.
