<< John 6:1

John 6:2

Followed (hkolouqei). Descriptive imperfect active, picturing the crowd, but without the details of the boat for Christ and the rapid race of the crowd on foot (Mark 6:32 f.; Matthew 14:13 f.).

They beheld (eqewroun). Imperfect active of qewrew. They had been beholding the signs which Jesus had been doing (epoiei, imperfect again) for a long time (John 2:23), most of which John has not given (Mark 1:29 f.; Mark 2:1; Mark 3:1; Mark 6:5). The people were eager to hear Jesus again (Luke 9:11) and to get the benefit of his healing power "on them that were sick" (epi twn asqenountwn, the weak or feeble, without strength, a privative and sqenov, strength).
