The Non-Symbolic Meaning of Trogo
The Greek word Esthio is used ten times throughout John 6, but in verses 54 and 56-58 the word Trogo is used instead. Esthio (#2068) means 'to eat' and can be used literally or figuratively. Trogo (#5176), however, means to "gnaw", "crunch", or "chew" and is never used metaphorically. Those who have researched the issue state that Trogo has never been found symbolically used within the Bible or within the whole of ancient Greek literature. Trogo's non-figurative usage clearly points to a literal interpretation.
