many times to describe Jesus' feelings. John also gives us a glimpse
into how the Christ responded emotionally to particular situations.
If discipleship calls us to imitate the Messiah then these are clues
as to what our emotional perspective should be.
Twice in John 11 Jesus' emotion is
described as “angry” or “intensely moved”. (HCSB, NetBible)

 John 6 tells the account of feeding the 5000. Those present
misconstrue the purposes and intentions of Jesus. They develop false
expectations which creates schisms among them. Some eventually walk away from
the Messiah and one is predicted to betray Him.
Jesus heals the paralytic in John 5:8 and probably others
(John 6:2). The miracles are performed to increase faith and prove He is the
Christ (John 10:35,38, John 6:29). The crowd however merely wants to see more
miracles (John 6:2), perhaps for entertainment or personal benefit.
