Giovanni 6:17 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:17

And entered into a ship
In which they came, and was waiting for them; or into another:

and went over the sea towards Capernaum;
steered their course from Bethsaida, where they took shipping over the sea of Galilee; at least over one part of it, a creek or bay of it, as they intended, towards the city of Capernaum, which lay over against Bethsaida:

and it was now dark;
quite night, which made their voyage more uncomfortable, especially as it afterwards was tempestuous: but the worst of all was,

and Jesus was not come to them;
as they expected, and therefore were obliged to set sail and go without him.

Giovanni 6:17 In-Context

15 Gesù adunque, conoscendo che verrebbero, e lo rapirebbero per farlo re, si ritrasse di nuovo in sul monte, tutto solo.

16 E QUANDO fu sera, i suoi discepoli discesero verso il mare.

17 E montati nella navicella, traevano all’altra riva del mare, verso Capernaum; e già era scuro, e Gesù non era venuto a loro.

18 E perchè soffiava un gran vento, il mare era commosso.

19 Ora, quando ebbero vogato intorno a venticinque o trenta stadi, videro Gesù che camminava in sul mare, e si accostava alla navicella, ed ebbero paura.
