(Nowe there was much grasse in that place.) Then the men sate downe in nomber, about fiue thousande.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And a great multitude followed him,.... From several cities and towns in Galilee, where he had been preaching and working miracles:
because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased; so that it was not for the sake of his doctrine, or for the good of their souls, they followed him; but either to gratify their curiosity in seeing his miracles, or to be healed in their bodies, as others had been.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because they saw his miracles ... - They saw that he had the power to supply their wants, and they therefore followed him. See John 6:26. Compare also Matthew 14:14.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 6:2. They saw his miracles which he did — John does not mention these miracles; but Matthew details them, Matthew 12:2-13. John seems more intent on supplying the deficiencies of the other evangelists than in writing a connected history himself.
