Notes

Luke 9:10

He withdrew: Jesus knew the disciples needed a time to focus on spiritual matters.
Bethsaida was on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, east of the Jordan River. It was the hometown of Peter, Andrew, and Philip (John 1:44; 12:21).

Luke 9:10–17

The feeding of the 5,000 recalls God’s miraculous feeding of Israel with manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16; see also 2 Kings 4:42–44). It points forward to God’s final salvation as a great feast for all nations (Isaiah 25:6–8; 65:13–14; Luke 14:15–24).
