After miraculously feeding thousands, Jesus didn't wait for a vote of thanks or a celebration. Commentators like Spurgeon highlight that He immediately sent the crowd away and departed, "speeding away from their praises." This demonstrates a profound humility and a focus on serving God rather than seeking human approval.
