What is given to Jesus as the “Prophet like Moses” in John 6:35-40?

The accepted understanding of John’s use of πᾶν ὃ in John 6:37 and 6:39 is that, in some way, πᾶν ὃ refers to the subsequent clause, either as depicting individuals (e.g., Schnackenburg) or the totality of believers (e.g., Bruce). This paper is an exploration of an alternative reading, where this combination refers to the antecedent declaration that Jesus is the bread of life, with that metaphor itself being a reference to the eschatological judgment and life-giving authority given to the Son as defined in John 5:17-30. As such, it is this eschatological authority that is given to Jesus in view here, not individual believers or believers corporately as suggested by many. Individuals are still in view in the subsequent clause where those who believe receive the judgment and gift of eternal life. The bread of life narrative of John 6 is part of a larger narrative section running from John 5-7 where the identity of Jesus has been called into question. A series of proofs are offered to identify Jesus as “the prophet.” The approach taken in this study will be to examine John 6:35-40 from this broader context. I will provide a thematic understanding of “the prophet like Moses.” A brief outline of the broader narrative framework of John 5-7 provides a series of proofs of Jesus’s role. The dividing line being presented to the Jews who challenge him is faith in Jesus, who is the eschatological prophet providing the word of life. I argue that the adjective/relative pronoun combination πᾶν ὃ is a reference back to this authority given to Jesus (the work given to Him by the Father) as the bread of life with reference to the prophet.
