5. (John 6:34-40) Jesus answers their fourth request: Lord, give us this bread always. Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
John 6:14-15. 14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
St. John has told us of the effect of the sign on the multitude. He knows also the reason of Christ’s retirement, while St. Matthew and St. Mark only state the fact that He retired to pray.
What does John 6:14 mean? Even during Jesus' earthly ministry, Deuteronomy 18:15 was interpreted to predict that a great leader like Moses would come to the people of Israel (John 1:19–21). Jesus has attracted a large crowd due to His miraculous healings (John 6:2).
Verse 1. After an undesignated lapse of time (cf. John 5:1), Jesus traveled to the east side of the Sea of Galilee. That was the more sparsely populated side where fewer Jews and more Gentiles lived. It was particularly to the northeast coast that He went (cf. Matthew 14:13; Mark 6:32; Luke 9:10).
Mark says, Mark 6:45, that our Lord commanded them to go along to Bethsaida; and in the course of the history we find they got neither to Bethsaida nor Capernaum, but landed in the country of Genesaret: Matthew 14:34.
John 6 invites us to witness the miraculous power of Jesus and to delve deeper into His teaching of Himself as the Bread of Life. The chapter reminds us of the enduring satisfaction and life Jesus offers to those who believe in Him, despite the complexities and challenges of faith.
