John 6:2

2 and a large crowd followed him, because they had seen the miracles he had performed on the sick.

John 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:2

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.

John 6:2 In-Context

1 Some time later, Yeshua went over to the far side of Lake Kinneret (that is, Lake Tiberias),
2 and a large crowd followed him, because they had seen the miracles he had performed on the sick.
3 Yeshua went up into the hills and sat down there with his talmidim.
4 Now the Judean festival of Pesach was coming up;
5 so when Yeshua looked up and saw that a large crowd was approaching, he said to Philip, "Where will we be able to buy bread, so that these people can eat?"
