Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 6:1-2

"After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick." — John 6:1-2 (ASV)

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

Many of them were spectacle-seekers, wanting to see more wonders performed; others of them were sick themselves, and anxious to be healed.

Wherever Jesus went, a throng went with him.
