Bread of Life: John 6:1-15

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick.

Crowds followed the signs. Healing drew them—they wanted more miracles, more demonstrations, more proof of power.

Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near.

Passover approaching. The timing was significant—bread and blood, exodus and liberation, all the themes converging.
