Context of John 6:14

12When everyone had eaten enough food, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Do not waste anything. Pick up all the little bits of food that people have not eaten.’ 13So the disciples picked up all the pieces. They filled 12 baskets with the bits of bread that the people had not eaten. The people saw this miracle that Jesus did. So they began to talk about it. They said, ‘Certainly, this man is the Prophet who must come into the world.’ 15The people wanted to take hold of Jesus so that they could make him their king. But Jesus knew that they wanted to do this. So he went away to the hills again by himself. 16When it was evening, Jesus' disciples went down to the lake.
