Matthew Poole and continuators on John 6:2

2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased .

Our Saviour (as appeareth by Mark 6.31.) onely spake to his Apostles to withdraw into a Desart place, and to rest a while; but v. 33. tho our Saviour went by Ship, yet the People ran on foot thither out of all Cities, and out-went them, and came together unto him. That which induced them, was their knowledge of the Miracles which he had wrought.
