Commentary on John 6:26
'Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.' Jesus exposes their motivation—they want provision, not the Provider. They saw miracles but missed their meaning. Physical satisfaction became their goal rather than spiritual truth. Jesus distinguishes between signs and their significance. Crowds that follow for benefits will leave when benefits cease.
