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

And Jesus went up into a mountain,.... In a desert place near Bethsaida, Luke 9:10;

and there he sat with his disciples; partly for security from the cruelty of Herod, having just heard of the beheading of John; and partly for privacy, that he might have some conversation alone with his disciples, upon their return from off their journey; as also for the sake of rest and refreshment; and according to the custom of the Jewish doctors, which now prevailed, Luke 9:10- :, he sat with his disciples, in order to teach and instruct them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 6:3. Went up into a mountain — This mountain must have been in the desert of Bethsaida, in the territories of Philip, tetrarch of Galilee. Our Lord withdrew to this place for a little rest; for he and his disciples had been so thronged with the multitudes, continually coming and going, that they had not time to take necessary food. See Mark 6:31.
