Contextual Overview

1 AFTER these Jeshu went over the Sea of Galila of Tiberios, 2 and great multitudes went after him, because they had seen the signs which he wrought on the diseased. 3 And Jeshu ascended a mountain, and there sat with his disciples. 4 Now the feast of the petscha of the Jihudoyee drew nigh. 5 And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do. 7 Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take. 8 Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha, 9 There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all ? 10 Jeshu saith to them, Make all the men recline; for there was much herbage in that place. And the men reclined, in number five thousand.

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.
