The next day
This phrase indicates a continuation of the narrative from the previous events, specifically the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water. The timing is significant as it shows the immediacy of the crowd's pursuit of Jesus, highlighting their eagerness and curiosity. In the Greek, "the next day" (τῇ ἐπαύριον) suggests a new opportunity for revelation and understanding, as each day with Jesus brought new teachings and miracles.

the crowd
The crowd represents the multitude of people who followed Jesus, often seeking physical sustenance or signs. Historically, crowds in the Gospels are depicted as both seekers of truth and as those who misunderstand Jesus' mission. The Greek word for crowd, "ὄχλος," can imply a diverse group with varying levels of faith and understanding, reflecting the mixed responses to Jesus' ministry.

that had remained on the other side of the sea
This phrase situates the crowd geographically and contextually. The "other side of the sea" refers to the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, where the feeding miracle occurred. The crowd's remaining there suggests a lingering hope or expectation for further interaction with Jesus. This geographical detail underscores the physical and spiritual journey of seeking Jesus.

realized
The realization of the crowd indicates a moment of awareness or understanding. The Greek word "εἶδον" (translated here as "realized") often means to see or perceive, suggesting a deeper insight beyond mere observation. This moment of realization sets the stage for the crowd's pursuit of Jesus, driven by their desire to comprehend His actions and teachings.

that only one boat had been there
This observation by the crowd highlights their attention to detail and their attempt to piece together Jesus' movements. The mention of "only one boat" emphasizes the miraculous nature of Jesus' travel, as He did not use the available means. This detail invites readers to consider the supernatural aspects of Jesus' ministry.

and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples
The crowd's awareness that Jesus did not board the boat with His disciples points to their keen interest in His whereabouts. This detail underscores the mystery surrounding Jesus' actions and the divine nature of His mission. The separation from His disciples at this moment foreshadows the deeper spiritual truths Jesus will reveal.

but they had gone away alone
The disciples' departure without Jesus highlights their obedience and trust in His instructions, even when His actions are not immediately clear. This phrase also sets up the subsequent revelation of Jesus' miraculous crossing of the sea. The Greek word "μόνος" (alone) emphasizes the solitary nature of the disciples' journey, which contrasts with the communal aspect of their ministry with Jesus.

(22) The people.--Better, the multitude. It is the same word which in John 6:5 is rendered "company."

On the other side of the sea--i.e., on the eastern side. The writer's starting-point is now Capernaum. In John 6:25 the same words mean the western side, the starting-point of the multitude being the scene of the miracle.

Save that one whereinto his disciples were entered.--Better, save one, with the best MSS. The addition has arisen from an explanatory gloss.

Verses 22-59. -

(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 vers. 41 and 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) that he is himself the Bread of God - the Bread of life for a starving world; then

(2) that his "flesh," i.e. his wondrous humanity - the veritable abode of the Word of God - will constitute the food of man; . . .
