John 6:16

John 6:16

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.

When evening came (wv oyia egeneto). "The late hour" (wra understood), and so in late Greek the adjective is used as a substantive. It is late evening (real evening), not the early evening in mid-afternoon (Matthew 14:15). The disciples were in no hurry to start back to Bethsaida in Galilee (Mark 6:45), Capernaum in John (John 6:17).
