The Fifth Reason in Favor of a Metaphorical View

John six uses the term flesh, while the last supper uses the term body. In context, we can see that the people, the disciples, were searching for jesus because they had just been fed and they were hungry again. And so i think that that actually weighs in favor of a metaphorical view. The crowd misunderstanding is expected on a symbolic reading, given the broader context. Ai think it's the jews that are referenced there.
