What does John 6:14 mean?
Then those men
The five thousand men, who had been fed with the loaves and
fishes:
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did;
in feeding so many of them, with so small a quantity of food; in
multiplying the provision in such a prodigious manner, that after
they had eaten to the full, so many baskets of fragments were
taken up:
said, this is of a truth that prophet that should come into
the
world;
meaning that prophet, that Moses spoke of, in ( Deuteronomy
18:15 ) ; for the ancient Jews understood this passage of the
Messiah, though the modern ones apply it to others; (See Gill
on Acts
3:22). And these men concluded that Jesus was that
prophet, or the true Messiah, from the miracle he wrought; in
which he appeared, not only to be like to Moses, but greater than
he.
