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.
The genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû the-oû} is best taken as a genitive of source or possession, indicating that this bread belongs to God or proceeds from Him.
