A.T. Robertson Commentary John 6:25

"And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?" — John 6:25 (ASV)

When they found him (ευροντες αυτον). Second aorist active participle of ευρισκω. Found him after search and in the synagogue as John explains (verse 59) in Capernaum, perhaps that very synagogue built by a centurion (Luke 7:5).

Rabbi (Ραββε). See on 1:38 for this courteous title.

When camest thou hither? (ποτε ωδε γεγονασ; ). Second perfect active indicative of γινομα. "When hast thou come?" We sought you anxiously on the other side of the lake and could not see how you came across (verses 22-24).
