João 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.

João 6:17 In-Context

15 Sabendo Jesus que pretendiam proclamá-lo rei à força, retirou-se novamente sozinho para o monte.

16 Ao anoitecer seus discípulos desceram para o mar,

17 entraram num barco e começaram a travessia para Cafarnaum. Já estava escuro, e Jesus ainda não tinha ido até onde eles estavam.

18 Soprava um vento forte, e as águas estavam agitadas.

19 Depois de terem remado cerca de cinco ou seis quilômetros, viram Jesus aproximando-se do barco, andando sobre o mar, e ficaram aterrorizados.
