John 6:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

JOHN CHAPTER 6 1 Thessalonians 6:1-14 Christ feedeth five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes. 1 Thessalonians 6:15-21 He withdraweth himself from the people, who would have made him a king, and walketh on the sea. 1 Thessalonians 6:22-29 The multitude flocking to him, he reproveth their carnal views, and requireth their faith in him whom God hath sent. 1 Thessalonians 6:30-59 They ask a sign like that of the manna in the wilderness; he declareth himself to be the bread of life from heaven, and that none can live but by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. 1 Thessalonians 6:60-65 Many of his disciples taking offence thereat, he showeth his meaning to be spiritual. 1 Thessalonians 6:66-71 Many leaving him, Peter in the name of the twelve professes stedfast faith in him: Jesus pronounces one of them to be a devil. Some good time (some think near a year) after the passages in the former chapter Christ went over the lake of Galilee (for the Jews called all great collections of waters seas); it is also called the lake of Tiberias, and the lake of Gennesaret, Luke 5:1. These waters received their name from the whole province whose coast they washed, so they were called the sea of Galilee; or the particular shore or cities they washed, so they are sometimes called the sea of Tiberias, sometimes the lake of Gennesaret. It appeareth by Mark 6:31, that he went upon the apostles coming to give him an account of what they had done and taught.
