Exegesis
The verse begins with ho gar artos tou theou {ὁ γὰρ ἄρτος τοῦ θεοῦ | ho gàr ár-tos toû the-oû}, an articular noun phrase fronted for emphasis and introduced by gar {γὰρ | gár} to provide an explanation of the preceding discussion about bread.
In context — John 6:33
For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
