John 6:4 And the time of the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great multitude come to him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Jesus is by the Sea of Galilee, yet here we have a reference to the Passover feast, which was about to take place in Jerusalem. What is the connection?
People are travelling, Hundreds have taken this opportunity to stop in Galilee to see the great Miracle Worker. Yet, Jesus wants to draw their attention to the true meaning of the Passover and the spiritual food He so longed to give them. John is carefully constructing this chapter so we, too, can find deeper meaning. These aren't just history stories, they are acted out parables. In the above verses, Jesus asked a question of Philip (the logical one). "Philip, do you know where we could buy food to feed this crowd of over 10,000 people" (5000 men, plus women and children)?
Why did Jesus ask that question, knowing full well the disciples could never find enough food to feed that many people? Besides, Jesus already knew what He would do!
He's testing them, stirring up their minds to recognize their need. He addresses his disciple and receives a statement of their helplessness.

Example: God the Father wasn't crucified, He wasn't physically on that cross, yet, 2 Cor. 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself." In their Oneness connection He was on the cross with Christ. Never thought of it like that, but I can see it and believe it.
