Most in the crowd whom Jesus fed were happy to follow him as long as he provided what they wanted. They were interested in miraculous cures, free food, or teachings that matched their expectations. However, Jesus showed that more would be required of his true disciples. He did not come to earth to. Satisfy peoples fleshly desires. they had ton respond to his invitation to " come to him "by accepting and obeying everything he taught. - JOHN 5:40; 6:44.
Jesus empathized to the crowd the need for them to exercise faith. In what? In the redeeming power of his flesh and blood that he would in time sacrifice. Such faith was essential for those Jews, and it is still essential today. John 6:53, we need to exercise faith in the ransom. That possibility is available to vast number of people. - Ephesians 1:7.
