A. Preparation for the miracle. 1. (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee. After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.
18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. 19 If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.
By faith we have a close and intimate union with Christ; he is in us, and we in him, ch. 17:21-23; 1 Jn. 3:24. Believers dwell in Christ as their stronghold or city of refuge; Christ dwells in them as the master of the house, to rule it and provide for it.
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).

6:1-14 John relates the miracle of feeding the multitude, for its reference to the following discourse. Observe the effect this miracle had upon the people. Even the common Jews expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great Prophet.
In response to His miracle, the people will regress from seeking, to complaining, to bickering, and finally to abandonment (John 6:14–15). Between two moments of public preaching, John includes the fifth of his seven miraculous signs, as well as a "bonus" miracle.
