John knows that they are barley loaves—the ordinary black bread of the Galilean peasant; and that the loaves and fishes are not the property of the disciples, but of a lad or slave who has followed the crowd, in the hope, it may be, of finding a purchaser for them.

1. (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee.
After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. a. After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee: John now records some of the acts and words of Jesus in the Galileeregion, north of Judea. John mainly recorded things tha...
2. (5-7) Jesus asks Philip a question.
Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” a. Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. a. Make the people sit down: Jesus was in no panic or hurry. He had a huge catering job to fulfill, but went about His work in an orderly way, making them sit down upon the grass. i. One might say that Jesus here fulfilled the role of the loving Shepherd in Psalm 23:1-2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. That Psalm also gave the picture of the Lord a...
2. (11) The five thousand are fed.
And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. a. When He had given thanks: Jesus only had a few loaves of bread and a few fish, but He was determined to give His Father thanksfor what He did have. i. “For five little cakes and two sprats Christ gave thanks to the Father; apparently a meagre cause for praise, but Jesus knew what he could make of them, and t...
3. (12-13) Gathering up the fragments of the feast.
So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. a. When they were filled: Jesus was generous, giving everyone as much as they wanted. This was a remarkable miracle, and some think that the disciples should have (or could have) anticipated that Jesus would do such a thing. i. Old...
1. (14) Jesus as the Prophet predicted by Moses.
Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” a. When they had seen the sign that Jesus did: The way Jesus provided bread for a multitude in the open air (something of a wilderness) reminded those menof how God worked through Moses to feed Israel with manna in the wilderness. b. Truly this is the Prophet: Moses predicted the coming of the Prophet they expected: The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like...
2. (15) The people attempt to make Jesus their earthly king.
Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. a. They were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king: King was a political title. The crowd was willing to support Jesus because they wanted to useHim to throw off Roman oppression either directly in Judea or indirectly through Herod Antipas in Galilee. i. “Suddenly there was this unusual man Jesus. He had miraculous power. So the...
1. (16-17) The disciples go out on the Sea of Galilee.
Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. a. His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat: Matthew and Mark tell us that Jesus made His disciples get into the boat (Mark 6:45).

2. (18) The wind disrupts their efforts to cross the Sea.
Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. a. Then the sea arose: The wind alone was bad enough, but the wind also whipped up the waters, making for troublesome seas. b.

When the sun sets, the air cools; and as the cooler air from the west rushe...
3. (19) Jesus comes to His disciples, walking on the water.
So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. a. When they had rowed about three or four miles: In the first storm upon the Sea of Galilee the disciples were terrified (Matthew 8:25-26). In the beginning of the second storm they were more frustratedthan afraid. Jesus told them to row across the lake and despite their hard work, they seemed to make little progress. i. Matthew 14:25 says this happened in the...
1. (22-24) The crowd follows Jesus and His disciples to Capernaum.
On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone—however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks—when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Cape...
2. (25-27) Jesus responds to their first question: Rabbi, when did You come here?
And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?” Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” a. When did You come here?Jesus did not answer this quest...

What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus told them, Do not labor for the food which perishes (John 6:27). In reply, they used the same word Jesus used and asked, “How shall we labor for this?” i. The sense behind their question seemed to be, “Just tell us what to do so we can get what we want from Y...
1. (60-64) Many disciples turn away.
Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who th...
2. (65-66) The spiritual reason why many walked away.
And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. a. Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father: Jesus rebuked their own material and earthly motivations for following Him. If they did not seek Him by the Spirit instead of seeking Him for food and a kingdom, then they had not come to Him at...
3. (67-69) The disciples stand as examples of willingness to follow even if they don’t understand it all.
Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” a. Do you also want to go away? What a scene! Scores of would-be followers of Jesus left Him, and He asked the twelve if they would also go. Jesus searched the motives of allthat follow Him, including the twelve. As the synagogue emptied, Jesus asked...
The ‘feeding of the five thousand’ is the only miracle performed by Jesus which is recorded in all four gospels: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:12-17, and John 6:1-14. And although there are minor differences in the telling from gospel to gospel, they are all broadly similar on the detail.
