John 6:21 - Forerunner Commentary

John 6:21

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.

20 But He said to them, ^a“It is I; do not be afraid.”

21 Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

The Bread from Heaven

22 On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except¹ that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone—

23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks—

24 when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, ^aseeking Jesus.
