Charles Ellicott Commentary John 6:22

"On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went away alone" — John 6:22 (ASV)

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—that is, 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 manuscripts. The addition has arisen from an explanatory gloss.
