This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:1. Μετὰ ταῦτα, after these things) John intimates, that here the history of many months is to be sought from the other Evangelists. [The feeding of 5000 men is the only miracle between the baptism and passion of Christ, which John describes in common with the other Evangelists; by this very fact confirming their narrative. However he presents to our view some things, not noticed by the rest, ch. Joh 6:22-70; and indeed, especially, the intimation of the intervening Passover (Joh 6:4), which if neglected, the leap from the preceding Pentecost to the following Feast of Tabernacles would have been too great (namely, it would have flown over an interval of a year and a half), nor would the possibility have been given of any harmony of the Evangelists being constructed. This is the one and only feast of the Passover, between the Lord’s baptism and His passion, in which He did not go up to Jerusalem, Joh 7:1-2, etc.-Harm., p. 331.]-τῆς) The Sea of Galilee, expresses the whole sea: the Sea of Tiberias, a part.
