Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 6:16-17

"And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea; and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them." — John 6:16-17 (ASV)

And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

That is a sentence that I should think some very gloomy people might hang upon, and about which they might groan in unison, It was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. Have you never been in that condition? Dark, dark, dark, as to circumstances, and as to feelings, and Jesus was not come to them. Now, something comes besides that.
