THE MESSAGE
The people realized that God was at work among them in what Jesus had just done. They said, "This is the Prophet for sure, God's Prophet right here in Galilee!" Jesus saw that in their enthusiasm, they were about to grab him and make him king, so he slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by himself.

Contextual Overview
1 AFTER these things, Jesus went to the port of the sea of Galilee, at Tiberias. 2 And a great many people followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on sick people. 3 So Jesus went up to the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 4 And the feast of the passover of the Jews was at hand. 5 And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a large crowd coming to him, and he said to Philip, Where can we buy bread that all these may eat? 6 He said this merely to test him; for he knew what he would do. 7 Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, 9 There is a boy here, who has with him five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for all of them? 10 Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the males * sat down, five thousand in number.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then those men,.... The five thousand men, who had been fed with the loaves and fishes:
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did; in feeding so many of them, with so small a quantity of food; in multiplying the provision in such a prodigious manner, that after they had eaten to the full, so many baskets of fragments were taken up:
said, this is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world; meaning that prophet, that Moses spoke of, in Deuteronomy 18:15; for the ancient Jews understood this passage of the Messiah, though the modern ones apply it to others; Deuteronomy 18:15- :. And these men concluded that Jesus was that prophet, or the true Messiah, from the miracle he wrought; in which he appeared, not only to be like to Moses, but greater than he.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That Prophet ... - The Messiah. The power to work the miracle, and the benevolence manifested in it, showed that he was the long-expected Messiah.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 6:14. This is of a truth that prophet — Spoken of, Deuteronomy 18:15, viz. the Messiah. How near were these people at this time to the kingdom of heaven!
