Contextual Overview
1After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias), 2and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;3and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there, 4and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews. 5Jesus then having lifted up [His] eyes and having seen that a great multitude comes to Him, says to Philip, "From where will we buy loaves, that these may eat?" 6And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do. 7Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little"; 8one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him, 9"There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?" 10And Jesus said, "Make the men to sit down"; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

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.
