Commentary on John 6:15
'When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.' The crowd's response is political, not spiritual. They want a bread-providing king who will overthrow Rome and bring prosperity. Jesus withdraws—He won't be manipulated into a role contrary to His mission. His kingdom is not of this world (18:36). Political messiahship would corrupt His true purpose.
