This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh_6:14-15. Ὁ προφήτης , κ . τ . λ .] the Prophet who (according to the promise in Deu_18:15) cometh into the world, i.e. the Messiah.
ἁρπάζειν ] come and carry Him away by force (Act_8:39; 2Co_12:2; 1Th_4:17), i.e. to Jerusalem, as the seat of the theocracy, whither they were journeying to the feast.
πάλιν ] comp. Joh_6:3. He had come down from the mountain on account of the feeding, Joh_6:11.
αὐτὸς μόνος ] as in Joh_12:24. See Toup. ad Longin. p. 526; Weisk.; Heind. ad Charm, p. 62.
The enthusiasm, of the people being of so sensuous a kind, does not contradict Joh_6:26.
The solitude which Jesus sought was, according to Mat_14:23, Mar_6:46, that of prayer, and this does not contradict John’s account; both accounts supplement each other.
