L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:1-71

FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND (vs.1-13) The setting here is no longer Jerusalem, but Galilee, and the contrast to the beginning of chapter 5 is striking. For here grace shines out beautifully, available for all, the miracle of the loaves and fishes being a sign to illustrate the gospel of free grace. But the sea of Galilee is called also Tiberias, named for the Roman Emperor, a reminder of Israel's humbling captivity and subjection to Rome. Great crowds follow Him, but not because they are... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 6:1-71

THIRD VISIT TO JUDEA This visit like the second was occasioned by the Passover, and a year later (John 5:6 ). What miracle was wrought on this occasion (5:2-9)? With what effect on the unbelieving Jews (John 5:10-16 )? How does Jesus justify such labor on the Sabbath day (John 5:17 )? On what two-fold ground did His enemies seek to kill Him (John 5:18 )? The latter of these grounds, because he said “God was His Father,” is deeply important. The Revised Version translates it because “He also... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 6:1-71

Coming to Christ Joh 6:2 That word "because" opens the door to a thousand reasons. Every man who does follow Christ follows him for some reason of his own. Woe to the soul that has no Christ, but one that is outward, appointed by some skilled hand, preached by some eloquent tongue, imposed by some lofty authority. That is not Christ at all. Any so-called Christ will wither, will peel off the frescoed wall, will topple on the throne made for him by some cabinet-maker. Every man must lay hold... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 6:1-14

After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias: (2) And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles, which he did on them that were diseased. (3) And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. (4) And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. (5) When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? (6) And this he said to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 6:1-14

1-14 John relates the miracle of feeding the multitude, for its reference to the following discourse. Observe the effect this miracle had upon the people. Even the common Jews expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great Prophet. The Pharisees despised them as not knowing the law; but they knew most of Him who is the end of the law. Yet men may acknowledge Christ as that Prophet, and still turn a deaf ear to him. read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 6:1-99

John 6 THIS CHAPTER BRINGS US back again to Galilee, and we read of another of the great “signs” which Jesus did. The miracle of feeding the five thousand has evidently a special importance, since it is related in each of the four Gospels. Our chapter gives us the teaching, based upon it and relating to it, which makes apparent its significance. The miracle itself is described in such a way as to emphasize the Lord’s resource and foreknowledge. Jesus first addressed Himself to Philip. Now this... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 6:10-14

The miracle: v. 10. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. v. 11. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. v. 12. When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain that nothing be lost. v. 13. Therefore they gathered... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 6:1-14

the Multitude Satisfied with Food John 6:1-14 In this chapter we have a further illustration of John’s method in selecting for his purpose the miracles which became the texts of our Lord’s discourses. These multitudes had evidently gathered on their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover; and the imminence of that great festival, when the worshipers not only sacrificed but partook of the slain lamb, gave point to much that our Lord said after this memorable feeding of the multitude.... read more
