John 6:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ So they gathered up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left from the five barley loaves [2 Kin. 4:42–44; ^CJesus’ miracle surpasses that of Elisha].

¹⁴ When the people saw this ·miracle [^Lsign] that Jesus did, they said, “He must truly be the Prophet [1:21; ^Cprobably the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18] who is coming into the world.”

¹⁵ Jesus knew that the people ·planned [intended; were about] to come and take him by force and make him their king, so he ·left [withdrew] and went into the ·hills [or mountains] alone.
