Come with me: Jesus and the disciples likely traveled north along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee toward Bethsaida (Luke 9:10). As they moved, the crowds could still see them along the shore.
many people: The large crowds show the success of the apostles' mission and the greatness of Jesus, whom the apostles represented.

The disciples finish their mission (6:6–13, 30–34). Then the story of feeding the 5,000 follows (6:35–44; see also Matthew 14:13–21; Luke 9:10–17; John 6:1–15). The feeding of the 4,000 is different enough to show these were two separate events (see Mark 8:1–10).
