John Gill, on John 6:17

“And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.”

“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.”
