約翰福音 6:22-24 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 6:22-27

In these verses we have, I. The careful enquiry which the people made after Christ, John 6:23, 24. They saw the disciples go to sea; they saw Christ retire to the mountain, probably with an intimation that he desired to be private for some time; but, their hearts being set upon making him a king, they way-laid his return, and the day following, the hot fit of their zeal still continuing, 1. They were much at a loss for him. He was gone, and they knew not what was become of him. They saw there... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 6:22-27

6:22-27 On the next day, the crowd which was still standing on the far side of the sea, saw that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gone into the boat with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away alone. But some boats from Tiberias put in near the place where they had eaten the bread, after the Lord had given thanks. So when they saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples either, they embarked on the boats, and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. When they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 6:22

The day following ,.... The day after that, in which the miracle of feeding live thousand men with five loaves and two fishes was done: the morning after the disciples had had such a bad voyage: when the people which stood on the other side of the sea ; from that in which the disciples now were, being landed at Capernaum; that is, they stood on that side, or shore, where they took shipping, near Bethsaida and Tiberias: here, after they were dismissed by Christ, they stood all night,... read more

Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias ,.... A city by the sea side, built by Herod, and called so in honour of Tiberius Caesar; though the Jews give a different etymology of it; they say, it is the same with Rakkath, Joshua 19:35 , and that it was a fortified place from the days of Joshua, and that on one side, ימה חומתה , "the sea was its wall" F4 T. Bab. Megilla, fol. 5. 2. & Hieros. Megilla, fol. 70. 1. : and so Jonathan the Targumist on Deuteronomy 3:17 says,... read more

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there ,.... At the sea side, at the usual place of taking boat; and having reason to think he was not on that side of the lake, but was gone from thence: neither his disciples ; when they found that there were neither of them there, but both were gone, and considering that it was to no purpose for them to stay there: they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus ; they might observe, that the disciples steered their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:22

The people which stood on the other side - ἙϚηκως περαν της θαλασσης , Standing by the sea side. The people were not on the other side, i.e. in Perea, as our version states, but on that side where Bethsaida lay: see the notes on Matthew 14:25 , Matthew 14:34 , and on Mark 6:45 . The Greek word, περαν , says Bishop Pearce, seems to signify in Scripture sometimes on the side of, and sometimes on this side of: see Joshua 5:1 ; and 1 Maccabees 9:34. The Hebrew word אבר abar ,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:23

There came other boats - After Jesus and his disciples had departed. From Tiberias - Herod Antipas built this city near the lake of Genesaret, in the best parts of Galilee, and called it Tiberias, in honor of Tiberius, the Roman emperor: see Jos. Ant. book xviii. chap. 2. sect. 3. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:24

They also took shipping - That is, as many of them as could get accommodated with boats took them and thus got to Capernaum; but many others doubtless went thither on foot, as it is not at all likely that five or six thousand persons could get boats enow to carry them. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:22

Verse 22 22.Next day. Here the Evangelist relates circumstances from which the multitude might conclude that Christ had gone across by divine power. There had been but one ship; they see it go away without Christ; next day, ships come from other places, by which they are conveyed to Capernaum; and there they find Christ. It follows that he must have been conveyed across in a miraculous manner. There is an intricacy and apparent confusion ( ἀνακόλουθον) in the words, but still the meaning of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 6:23

Verse 23 23.Near the place where they had eaten bread. The meaning of the words is doubtful; for they may be explained, either that Tiberias was near the place where Christ had fed them with five loaves, or that the ships reached the shore which was near and below that place. I approve more highly of the latter exposition; for Bethsaida, near which Luke states that the miracle was performed, is half-way between Tiberias and Capernaum. Accordingly, when ships came down from that place, which was... read more
