What a strange situation; 5,000 people following Jesus around and only one of them brings a meal. I wonder why it was such an emergency for these people to eat. I'm sure it wasn't like they were going to starve or anything! But Philip is operating on the assumption that they need to eat (ulterior motive: Philip already knew what Jesus would do; this implies that this wasn't the first mass feeding Jesus had catered.)
So Jesus feeds everyone, and the crowd figures out that he's miraculously provided for them yet again, they try to force him to be king, but Jesus gets out of it.
Hey, wait a second... why didn't Jesus want to be king? Couldn't he do much more as a king than just a teacher? Doesn't a Prime Minister have more power and influence than the pastor from your church?

I just wanted to say that I think everyone had to eat because the jewish passover over feast was just approaching and this was it so they needed the unleavened bread for all the people
