1 After these thynges, Iesus went his waye ouer the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude folowed hym, because they sawe his miracles whiche he dyd on them that were diseased. 3 And Iesus went vp into a mountayne, & there he sate with his disciples. 4 And the Passouer, a feast of ye Iewes, was nye. 5 When Iesus then lyft vp his eyes, and sawe a great company come vnto him, he saith vnto Philip: Whence shal we bye bread, that these may eate? 6 (This he sayde to proue hym: for he hym selfe knewe what he woulde do.) 7 Philip aunswered hym: Two hundred penie worth of bread are not sufficient for them, that euery man may take a litle. 8 One of his disciples, Andrewe, Simo Peters brother, sayth vnto hym: 9 There is a litle ladde here, whiche hath fyue barly loaues and two fisshes, but what are they among so many? 10 And Iesus sayde: Make the people syt downe. There was much grasse in the place. So the men sate downe, in number about fyue thousande.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And this he said to prove him,.... Or "tempting him", trying his faith, and not only his, but the rest of the disciples; not as ignorant of it himself, but in order to discover it to him and them, and to prepare them for the following miracle; and that it might appear the more illustrious and marvellous:

for he himself knew what he would do; Christ had determined to work a miracle, and feed the large number of people that were with him, with that small provision they had among them; and being God omniscient, he knew that he was able to do it, and that he was determined to do it, and it would be done; but he was willing first to try the faith of his apostles.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To prove him - To try him; to see if he had faith, or if he would show that he believed that Jesus had power to supply them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 6:6. This he said to prove him — To try his faith, and to see whether he and the other apostles had paid proper attention to the miracles which they had already seen him work; and to draw their attention more particularly to that which he was now about to perform. This is an observation of the evangelist himself, who often interweaves his own judgment with the facts he relates, which St. Matthew rarely ever does. The other evangelists say that, previously to this miracle, he continued to instruct and heal the multitudes till it was near the close of the day. Matthew 14:14-15; Mark 6:34-35; Luke 9:11-12.
