John 6:10
Compare all
8 One of His disciples, aAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,  
9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, abut what are they among so many?”  
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them1 to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.  
12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”

John 6:10

There was much grass in the place - Perhaps newly mown grass, or hay, is meant, (so the Vulgate faenum ), and this circumstance marks out more particularly that the passover was at hand. In Palestine the grass is ready for mowing in March; and this miracle seems to have been wrought only a few days before the commencement of that festival: see John 6:4.
