John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:8

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother ,.... Who also, and his brother Peter, were of Bethsaida, as well as Philip, and was a disciple of Christ's; he hearing what Christ said to Philip, and what answer he returned, saith unto him ; to Christ, with but little more faith than Philip, if any. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:9

There is a lad here ,.... Who either belonged to Christ and his disciples, and was employed to carry their provisions for them; which, if so, shows how meanly Christ and his disciples lived; or he belonged to some in the multitude; or rather he came here to sell what he had got: which hath five barley loaves . The land of Canaan was a land of barley, as well as wheat, Deuteronomy 8:8 ; this sort of grain grew there in plenty, and was in much use; the Jews had a barley harvest, 1:22 ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:10

Jesus said, make the men sit down ,.... The Syriac version reads, "all the men"; and the Persic version, "all the people"; men, women, and children: Christ, without reproving his disciples for their unbelief, ordered them directly to place the people upon the ground, and seat them in rows by hundreds and by fifties, in a rank and company, as persons about to take a meal: now there was much grass in the place ; at the bottom of the mountain; and it was green, as one of the evangelists... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:1

After these things - This is a sort of indefinite expression, from which me can gather nothing relative to the time in which these things happened. It refers no doubt to transactions in the preceding year. Jesus went over the sea of Galilee - Or, as some translate the words, by the side of the sea of Galilee. From Luke, Luke 9:10 , we learn that this was a desert place in the vicinity of Bethsaida. The sea of Galilee, Genesaret, and Tiberias, are the same in the New Testament with the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:2

They saw his miracles which he did - John does not mention these miracles; but Matthew details them, Matthew 12:2-14:13. John seems more intent on supplying the deficiencies of the other evangelists than in writing a connected history himself. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:3

Went up into a mountain - This mountain must have been in the desert of Bethsaida, in the territories of Philip, tetrarch of Galilee. Our Lord withdrew to this place for a little rest; for he and his disciples had been so thronged with the multitudes, continually coming and going, that they had not time to take necessary food. See Mark 6:31 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:4

And the passover - was nigh - This happened about ten or twelve days before the third passover which Christ celebrated after his baptism. Calmet. For a particular account of our Lord's four passovers see the note on John 2:13 . For thirty days before the Passover there were great preparations made by the Jews, but especially in the last nineteen days, in order to celebrate the feast with due solemnity. Lightfoot supposes that what is here related happened within the last fifteen days.... read more

Saw a great company - See this miracle explained at large on Matthew 14:13 ; (note), etc.; Mark 6:31 ; (note), etc.; Luke 9:10 ; (note), etc. In speaking of the passovers, and various other matters, it does not appear that John follows any strict chronological order. From John 6:15 , it appears that our Lord had come down from the mountain, and fed the multitudes in a plain at the foot of it. Saith unto Philip - This, with what follows, to the end of the seventh verse, is not... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:6

This he said to prove him - To try his faith, and to see whether he and the other apostles had paid proper attention to the miracles which they had already seen him work; and to draw their attention more particularly to that which he was now about to perform. This is an observation of the evangelist himself, who often interweaves his own judgment with the facts he relates, which St. Matthew rarely ever does. The other evangelists say that, previously to this miracle, he continued to instruct... read more

Two hundred pennyworth - This sum, rating the denarius at 7 3/4d., would amount to 6£. 9s. 2d. of our money, and appears to have been more than our Lord and all his disciples were worth of this world's goods. See the notes on Matthew 18:28 . read more
