6:11 The modest meal provided the crowd with as much as they wanted, echoing the miraculous provision of manna in the wilderness (Exod 16:35). Moses had first supplied Israel with heavenly bread; Jesus was the new supplier.
6:1-15 Jesus’ feeding the 5,000 recalls the great Old Testament miracle of bread when Israel was in the wilderness (Exod 16). The rabbis of Jesus’ day expected the coming Messiah to “rain down food from heaven” once again (Exod 16:4), and he did.
6:14 he is the Prophet we have been expecting! The crowd understood the miracle as a fulfillment of Old Testament promises (see Deut 18:15, 18; Mal 4:5-6).
