Greek Commentary for John 6:11
Those of John 6:9. Having given thanks The usual grace before meals (Deuteronomy 8:10). The Synoptics use “blessed” ευλογησεν eulogēsen (Mark 6:41; Matthew 14:19; Luke 9:16). He distributed First aorist active indicative of διαδιδωμι diadidōmi old verb to give to several To them that were set down Present middle participle (dative case) of ανακειμαι anakeimai old verb to recline like αναπεσειν anapesein in John 6:10. As much as they would Imperfect active of τελω thelō “as much as they wished.” [source]
All the Synoptists relate his looking up to heaven and blessing. Perhaps he used the familiar formula, “Blessed art thou Jehovah our God, King of the world, who causes to come forth bread from the earth.” [source]

First aorist active indicative of αιρω airō but without the explanatory gloss of the Textus Receptus “from the place where the dead was laid” (not genuine). I thank thee that thou heardest me See John 6:11 for ευχαριστεω eucharisteō Clearly Jesus had prayed to the Father concerning the raising of Lazarus. He has the answer before he acts. “No pomp of incantation, no wrestling in prayer even; but simple words of thanksgiving, as if already Lazarus was restored” (Dods). Jesus well knew the issues involved on this occasion. If he failed, his own claims to be the Son of God (the Messiah), would be hopelessly discredited with all. If he succeeded, the rulers would be so embittered as to compass his own death. [source]
