Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

John 6 - Introduction

Christ feedeth five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes. Thereupon the people would have made him king. But withdrawing himself, he walketh on the sea to his disciples: reproveth the people flocking after him, and all the fleshly hearers of his word: declareth himself to be the bread of life to believers. Many disciples depart from him. Peter confesseth him. Judas is a devil.

Anno Domini 31.
