and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.
“His miracles” = John does not record many of Jesus’ miracles, just enough for the signs that He is the Christ. There are only 2 miracles recorded by each of the 4 gospel writers: the Resurrection and the following feeding of the five thousand. #Mat 14:13-33, Mark 6:32-52, Luke 9:10-17 Since this miracle was recorded by all 4 of the gospels, it must be very important as must be its message.
