Contextual Overview

1 After these things, Jesus went away over the Sea of Galilee, the Tiberian Sea . 2 And a great crowd followed Him, for they saw His miraculous signs which He did on the sick ones. 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain and sat there with His disciples. 4 And the Passover was near, the feast of the Jews. 5 Then Jesus lifting up His eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to Him, He said to Philip, From where may we buy loaves that these may eat? 6 But He said this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do. 7 Philip answered Him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not enough for them, that each of them may receive a little. 8 One of His disciples said to Him, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, 9 A little boy is here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are these for so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men to recline. And much grass was in the place. Then the men reclined, the number was about five thousand.

Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the seas, and over birds of the heavens, and over all beasts creeping on the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

After these things,.... After Christ's curing the man at Bethesda's pool, and the vindication of himself for doing it or the sabbath day, and for asserting his equality with God; near a year after these things: for these were done at the feast of the passover, and now it was near another; and what is related here, was after the death of John the Baptist, and when the disciples had returned from preaching in the several cities and towns, where Christ afterwards went, and had given an account of their success; see Matthew 14:12. Quickly after the passover was ended, Christ departed from Jerusalem, and went into Galilee, and preached in the several cities and towns in those parts, and wrought many miracles: and after these things, in process of time,

Jesus went over the sea of Galilee; the same with the lake of Gennesaret, Luke 5:1;

which is [the sea] of Tiberias; and is frequently so called by the Jewish writers x, who often make mention of טבריה ימה של, "the sea of Tiberias"; and by other writers, it is called the lake of Tiberias y; Pliny, who calls it the lake of Genesara z, says,

"it was sixteen miles long, and six broad, and was beset with very pleasant towns; on the east were Julias and Hippo, and on the south Tarichea, by which name some call the lake, and on the west Tiberias, wholesome for the hot waters.''

And these are the waters which the Jews call דימוסין דטבריא, or,

חמי, the hot baths of Tiberias a; and from the city of Tiberias built by Herod, and called so in honour of Tiberius Caesar, the sea took its name.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jesus went over - Went to the east side of the sea. The place to which he went was Bethsaida, Luke 9:10. The account of this miracle of feeding the five thousand is recorded also in Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:32-44; Luke 9:10-17. John has added a few circumstances omitted by the other evangelists.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI.

Jesus passes the sea of Tiberias, and a great multitude follow

him, 1-4.

He feeds five thousand with five loaves, and two fishes,

5-13.

They acknowledge him to be the prophet that should come into

the world, 14.

They purpose to force him to become their king; and he withdraws

from the multitude, 15.

The disciples take ship, and go towards Capernaum, and are

overtaken with a storm, 16-18.

Christ comes to them, walking upon the water, 19-21.

The people take boats and follow him, 22-24.

He reproves their fleshly motives, 25-27.

They profess a desire to be instructed, 28.

Christ preaches to them, and shows them that he is the bread of

life, and that they who reject him are without excuse, 29-40.

They are offended, and cavil, 41, 42.

He asserts and illustrates his foregoing discourse, 43-51.

They again cavil, and Christ gives farther explanations, 52-59.

Several of the disciples are stumbled at his assertion, that

unless they ate his flesh and drank his blood they could not

have life, 60.

He shows them that his words are to be spiritually understood,

61-65.

Several of them withdraw from him, 66.

He questions the twelve, whether they also were disposed to

forsake him, and Peter answers for the whole, 67-69.

Christ exposes the perfidy of Judas, 70, 71.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI.

Verse John 6:1. After 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. From Luke, Luke 9:10, we learn that this was a desert place in the vicinity of Bethsaida. The sea of Galilee, Genesaret, and Tiberias, are the same in the New Testament with the sea of Cinnereth in the Old. Tiberias was a city in Galilee, situated on the western side of the lake. Job 6:22; Job 6:22.
