King James Bible
"The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
The audience erupts in heated debate, with 'strove' indicating serious disagreement rather than calm discussion. This follows Jesus's bread of life discourse, showing how his metaphorical language about eating his flesh has created division among his hearers. Their question reveals a literal interpretation of Jesus's spiritual metaphor, missing his point about faith and spiritual nourishment. The phrase 'this man' carries a dismissive tone, suggesting their struggle to accept divine claims from someone they see as merely human.
