Howbeit, c.—"Howbeit," adds the Evangelist, in a lively parenthesis, "there came other boats from Tiberias" (which lay near the southwest coast of the lake), whose passengers were part of the multitude that had followed Jesus to the east side, and been miraculously fed these boats were fastened somewhere (says the Evangelist) nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks —thus he refers to the glorious "miracle of the loaves"—and now they were put in requisition to convey the people back again to the west side. For when "the people saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping [in these boats] and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-24" class="com-number"
