Commentary on John 6:5
'When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?' Jesus takes initiative, asking Philip a question He already knows the answer to (verse 6). The question tests Philip's faith and understanding. Jesus sees both the crowd and the opportunity—not a problem to solve but a glory to reveal. His concern for the hungry models compassion that leads to provision.
