John 6:68 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Peter, who is observed in the whole history of the gospel to have discovered the hottest and quickest spirit, and to have been first in answering questions propounded to the twelve, as Matthew 16:16, &c., replies, Lord, to whom shall we go? &c., thereby teaching us under temptations to apostasy, first, to consider what we shall get by it, as the following words teach us, that an abiding with Christ in a steady adherence to the truths of his gospel, is the best choice that we can make.

John 6:68

68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
