Commentaries on John 6:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1After 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.

John has added a few circumstances omitted by the other evangelists.Read the comment

In that story, God provided bread each day for his people. In the time of Jesus, some Jewish teachers believed that the Messiah would again give bread from heaven (Exodus 16:4). They expected a new act of divine provision. When Jesus fed the crowd, he met this expectation. However, he was not only giving physical bread. He…Read the comment
