Contextual Overview
1 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias). 2 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing. 3 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples. 4 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand. 5 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?" 6 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do. 7 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal." 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, 9 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?" 10 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.

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.
