Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 6:16-21

See this miracle of walking on the sea explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-33. Compare Mark 6:45-52.John 6:21Immediately - Quickly. Before a long time. How far they were from the land we know not, but there is no evidence that there was a miracle in the case. The word translated “immediately” does not of necessity imply that there was no interval of time, but that there was not a long interval. Thus, in Matthew 13:5, in the parable of the sower, “and immediately (the same word in Greek)... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 6:15-21

John 6:15-21. When Jesus perceived Through the knowledge which he had of their thoughts and intentions; that they would come and take him by force That they had formed a purpose of doing so; to make him a king Believing that the Messiah was to rule as well as teach his people; he departed again unto a mountain himself alone Having ordered his disciples to cross the lake, and dismissed the multitude. To this mountain, according to Matthew and Mark, he retired to pray. For a further... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 6:15-21

66. Jesus walks on the sea (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21)On seeing Jesus’ miracle with the bread and fish, many wanted to make him king immediately. This no doubt would have pleased many of Jesus’ followers, but for him it presented a possible temptation. He therefore sent his disciples to Bethsaida, while he escaped into the hills where he could be alone and pray (Matthew 14:22-23; Mark 6:45-46; John 6:15).Bethsaida was not far from the place where Jesus had fed the five... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 6:17

John 6:17. And entered into a ship,— Christ's order was, that the disciples should go to Bethsaida, as St. Mark informs us; but the wind becoming contrary, as we shall see immediately, they were obliged to sail towards Capernaum. St. John therefore describes the voyage, not as it was intended, but as it actually happened. The evangelists have not told us how the twelve baskets full of fragments were disposed of; probably the disciples carried them with them into the boat; so that having before... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:16-21

2. The fifth sign: walking on the water 6:16-21 (cf. Matthew 14:24-33; Mark 6:47-52)John probably included this incident for a number of reasons. It accounts for the return of Jesus and His disciples to the western shore of Galilee where Jesus gave the discourse on the Bread of Life. Perhaps he did so to continue the Exodus theme (cf. John 6:14-15). It is primarily further proof that Jesus was the Son of God as He claimed. The disciples went from the thrill of great success to the agony of... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 6:17-18

The disciples’ ultimate destination was Capernaum, which Mark called Bethsaida (Mark 6:45). Evidently this western Bethsaida ("Fishtown") was very close to, or even part of, Capernaum. [Note: Edersheim, 2:3-4.] When Jesus did not appear by nightfall, they decided to travel on to Capernaum without Him.In John’s Gospel darkness often has symbolic significance implying a bad situation (cf. John 3:2; John 13:30). Jesus’ absence cast another foreboding cloud over the disciples. To make the occasion... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:1-71

The Bread of LifeJohn 6:1 to John 7:1. Feeding the five thousand. Walking upon the sea. Discourse upon the bread of life. Defection of many disciples. The Apostles stand firm.Returning from Jerusalem, our Lord met the Apostles somewhere on the W. of the lake (perhaps at Capernaum), and heard their report of their mission (Luke 9:10). He then spent about a fortnight preaching and healing the sick (John 6:2), and afterwards, seeking retirement, sailed with them to a desert place on the NE. coast... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 6:17

(17) For “a ship,” the received text has, with some of the best MSS., the ship—i.e., the ship in which they first crossed. For “went over the sea,” read were going over the sea. The voyage is described as still continuing.Toward Capernaum.—St. Matthew speaks more generally of the other (i.e., the western) side. St. Mark of Bethsaida, which was distinct from Bethsaida Julias, which was on the east of the lake. (Comp. Note on Luke 9:10.) For an account of Capernaum, see Matthew 4:13, and in this... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - John 6:1-71

The Gospel Feast John 6:5 I. From the beginning, the greatest rite of religion has been a feast; the partaking of God's bounties, in the way of nature, has been consecrated to a more immediate communion with God Himself. For instance, when Isaac was weaned, Abraham 'made a great feast,' and then it was that Sarah prophesied: 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son,' she said, prophesying the introduction of the spirit, grace, and truth which the Gospel contains, instead of the bondage of the... read more
