Context of John 6:10
8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith to him, 9There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 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. 11And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.

Commentaries on John 6:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10There was much grass in the place - Perhaps newly mown grass, or hay, is meant, (so the Vulgate faenum), and this circumstance marks out more particularly that the passover was at hand. In Palestine the grass is ready for mowing in March; and this miracle seems to have been wrought only a few days before the commencement of that festival: see John 6:4.Read the comment
