John 6:24

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 6:24

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 6:24

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

The next day, the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, near the site of the great miracle, amazed at the departure of the disciples and the separation between them and Jesus, and saw that there was only one little boat there £ —or "none other little boat there save one," and this was too small for it to be the boat which brought Jesus and his disciples thither or took the latter away—and saw that Jesus did not enter with his disciples into the boat in which they were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:22-26

False seekers and a true Saviour. We have here in relation to Jesus— I. A MANIFESTATION OF AN OUTWARDLY PROPER AND HOPEFUL CONDUCT . These people sought Jesus, and in doing so: 1 . They strove to find the right Object— Jesus. Many seek unworthy, worthless, and injurious objects—objects unworthy of them and their efforts—the very thought of which is most debasing and morally dangerous; but these people seek the most worthy, valuable, and soul-benefiting Object it... read more

The dialogue between Jesus and the Jews in the synagogue of Capernaum. The multitude followed our Lord on the following day across to Capernaum. I. JESUS DISCLOSES TO THEM THE SELFISH MOTIVES THAT GOVERNED THEIR CONDUCT . "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of those loaves, and were filled." 1 . Jesus knew the hearts of men . 2 . He exposes their inward character with an unshrinking boldness . 3 ... read more

(3) The sequel of the signs . The discussion which follows is closely linked with these two great miracles of power and love. It naturally arises out of them, and refers with great explicitness to the former of them and to its true meaning. The discussion does unquestionably alter its scope as it proceeds, and at John 6:41 and John 6:52 "the Jews" take up a controversy which had previously been conducted by a portion of the crowd who witnessed his mighty works. Jesus declared (1) ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 6:24

"Seeking Jesus." The Lord Jesus came to earth to seek and to save that which was lost. And again and again in the course of his ministry he was sought by those whom he was seeking. There were periods of popularity when, from various motives, the multitudes resorted to the Prophet of Nazareth. Their seeking Jesus was emblematical of the conduct becoming in all men, when Christ comes nigh to them in the messages of his Word and the ordinances of his Church. I. SEEKING JESUS ... read more
