Location
1. The traditional site of this miracle is at Tabgha, located on the northwestern side of the Sea of Galilee.
2. However, we believe this miracle most likely took place on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee south of Bethsaida a bit.
3. Scripture says Jesus and His disciples were headed to Bethsaida, a desolate, or deserted place (Mark 6:31; Luke 9:10). Tabgha is in a very populated area and on the opposite side of the sea from Bethsaida.
4. The large population area was from Tiberias to Capernaum (the northwestern side), the deserted area was on the northeastern and eastern side of the sea.
5. Bethsaida was a small fishing village and was about the only town on the northeastern side of the sea.
6. Immediately after feeding the 5,000, Jesus ordered His disciples to cross over to the other side of the sea (Matt. 14:22).
7. While the disciples were crossing over to the other side is when a strong storm arose. Jesus walked on water (Peter attempted to as well), and Jesus calmed the storm.
8. The storm seems to have changed the course of their destination as Scripture says that they ended up arriving in the area of Gennesaret (Matt. 14:34-36).
9. Gennesaret is located on the northwestern side of the sea where all the population is.
10. Gennesaret is less than 2 miles (3 Km.) south of Tabgha. If the miracle happened at Tabgha, going from Tabgha to Gennesaret wouldn’t be crossing over the other side of the sea as both towns are close-by to each other.
11. After Christ arrived at Gennesaret, many heard he had arrived, and a large multitude gathered for healing. If Christ had just been in the area of Tabgha, it wouldn't make sense that a large crowd would gather again right after Christ had just been there.
12. From the location of the feeding of the 5,000, the disciples headed in the direction of Bethsaida and Capernaum (Mark 6:45; John 6:16-17). They had to be enough south of Bethsaida to head that direction by boat. Bethsaida and Capernaum are about 5 miles (7 km.) away from where we believe the feeding of the 5,000 happened.
13. For these reasons, we believe the best biblical location for the feeding of the multitude is just south of Bethsaida in this open, flat area. It seems to fit the text and the geography of the land best.
Historical Background
1. This miracle happened just after Jesus had sent out the 12 disciples to preach and heal throughout Israel (Luke 9:1-9).
2. You would think after being used so mightily by God that the disciples would have had more faith.
3. It also took place just after the death of John the Baptist (Matt. 14:1-12).
4. Jesus and His disciples were headed to this remote place in order to rest after the long ministry period they had just finished (being sent out two by two, preaching and healing).
Mark 6:30-32: The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.
5. However, instead of resting, a huge ministry opportunity awaited them.
Mark 6:33-34: Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
6. Scripture mentions that there were 5,000 who were fed, not including women and children. This means there could easily have been 15,000 people or more present.

Where is the area where the demoniacs were located from here? I thought it was on the Eastern side of the Lake of Galilee.
I wonder how many of those 5000 were just hanger-oners that just wanted something from Jesus.
