Contextual Overview

1 After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, the sea of Tiberias, 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they had seen the miracles which he did on the diseased. 3 But Jesus went up into a mountain, and sat there with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming to him, saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 (But this he said, trying him; for he himself knew what he intended to do.) 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, Here is a lad, who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes: 9 but what are they among so many? 10 Jesus said, Make the men sit down. (Now there was much grass in the place) So the men sat down, in number about 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.
