John 6:15
Compare all
13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly athe Prophet who is to come into the world.”  

Jesus Walks on the Sea

15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him aking, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.  
16 aNow when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,  
17 got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.
19 So when they had rowed about1 three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were aafraid.

John 6:15

departed . . . to a mountain himself alone—(1) to rest, which He came to this "desert place" on purpose to do before the miracle of the loaves, but could not for the multitude that followed Him (see Mark 6:31); and (2) "to pray" (Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46). But from His mountain-top He kept watching the ship (see on John 6:18), and doubtless prayed both for them, and with a view to the new manifestation which He was to give them of His glory.
