Giovanni 6:24

24 La folla, dunque, quando l’indomani ebbe veduto che Gesù non era quivi, né che v’erano i suoi discepoli, montò in quelle barche, e venne a Capernaum in cerca di Gesù.

Giovanni 6:24 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:24

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
&c.] 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 course towards this place; and they knew that was a place of general resort with Christ and his disciples; therefore they took boat and came directly thither, and sought for him in the synagogue, it being on a day in which the people used to go thither; and where Christ, as often as he had opportunity, attended.

Giovanni 6:24 In-Context

22 La folla che era rimasta all’altra riva del mare avea notato che non v’era quivi altro che una barca sola, e che Gesù non v’era entrato co’ suoi discepoli, ma che i discepoli eran partiti soli.

23 Or altre barche eran giunte da Tiberiade, presso al luogo dove avean mangiato il pane dopo che il Signore avea reso grazie.

24 La folla, dunque, quando l’indomani ebbe veduto che Gesù non era quivi, né che v’erano i suoi discepoli, montò in quelle barche, e venne a Capernaum in cerca di Gesù.

25 E trovatolo di là dal mare, gli dissero: Maestro, quando se’ giunto qua?

26 Gesù rispose loro e disse: In verità, in verità vi dico che voi mi cercate, non perché avete veduto dei miracoli, ma perché avete mangiato de’ pani e siete stati saziati.
