Commentary on Matthew 14:13
Jesus' response to John the Baptist's death—'he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart'—shows His humanity. He needed solitude to grieve and pray. Yet 'when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot' demonstrates His compassion overriding personal need. This sets the context for the feeding miracle—Jesus' grief interrupted by needy multitudes whom He received with compassion rather than irritation.
