Yohanes 6:15

6:15 Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone. ¹ 

Yohanes 6:24

6:24 So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats ²  and came to Capernaum ³  looking for Jesus.

Yohanes 13:35

13:35 Everyone ⁴  will know by this that you are my disciples – if you have love for one another.”

Yohanes 19:4

19:4 Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, ⁵  “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation ⁶  against him.”

[6:15]  ¹ sn Jesus, knowing that his “hour” had not yet come (and would not, in this fashion) withdrew again up the mountainside alone. The ministry of miracles in Galilee, ending with this, the multiplication of the bread (the last public miracle in Galilee recorded by John) aroused such a popular response that there was danger of an uprising. This would have given the authorities a legal excuse to arrest Jesus. The nature of Jesus’ kingship will become an issue again in the passion narrative of the Fourth Gospel (John 18:33ff.). Furthermore, the volatile reaction of the Galileans to the signs prepares for and foreshadows the misunderstanding of the miracle itself, and even the misunderstanding of Jesus’ explanation of it (John 6:22-71).
