14 After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!"
14 The people realized that God was at work among them in what Jesus had just done. They said, "This is the Prophet for sure, God's Prophet right here in Galilee!"
14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
14 When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, "Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 6:14
Commentary on John 6:1-14
(Read John 6:1-14)
John relates the miracle of feeding the multitude, for its reference to the following discourse. Observe the effect this miracle had upon the people. Even the common Jews expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great Prophet. The Pharisees despised them as not knowing the law; but they knew most of Him who is the end of the law. Yet men may acknowledge Christ as that Prophet, and still turn a deaf ear to him.
