John 6:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ but Jesus said to them, “It is I [or “I am”; ^Cthere could be an echo here of Ex. 3:14]. Do not be afraid.” ²¹ Then they ·were glad [or were willing] to take him into the boat. ·At once [Immediately] the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go. [^CThe sea often stands for chaos, and God controls it.]

The People Seek Jesus

²² The next day the ·people [^Lcrowd] who had stayed on the ·other [opposite] side of the ·lake [sea] knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his ·followers [disciples] but that they had left ·without him [^Lalone]. And they ·knew [^Lsaw] that only one boat had been there.
