John 6:25 Commentary and Bible Study

When they find him, they question him, suspecting that he came to Capernaum by some miracle, by some wonder. Well that was true, they did not know it, but it was true. They address him as Rabbi [master]; they see themselves as disciples. Of course many of them, even in the course of this chapter, are going to go away and leave him and give up their following of him, but for the moment they are following him, and they are very enthusiastic about him. Surely this is the earthly Messiah we have been waiting for. They ask him, ‘When’, but they really mean, ‘How did you come to be here?’ Oh, they like wonders. It bolsters their support for him.
