This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When the multitude therefore saw (hote oun eiden ho ochlos). Resumption and clarification of the complicated statements of Joh 6:22.
That Jesus was not there (hoti Iēsous ouk estin ekei). Present indicative retained in indirect discourse. They still did not understand how Jesus had crossed over, but they acted on the basis of the plain fact.
They themselves got into (enebēsan autoi eis). Second aorist active indicative of embainō followed by eis (both en and eis together as often in N.T.).
Seeking Jesus (zētountes ton Iēsoun). Present active participle of zēteō. They had a double motive apart from the curiosity explained in Joh 6:22. They had clearly not given up the impulse of the evening before to make Jesus king (Joh 6:15) and they had hopes of still another bountiful repast at the hands of Jesus as he said (Joh 6:26).
