And it was dark, and Jeshu had not come to them. ¹⁸ But the sea had risen against them, because a great wind blew. ¹⁹ And they had led stadia twentyfive or thirty, and they saw Jeshu walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the vessel; and they feared. ²⁰ But Jeshu himself said to them, I am, fear not. ²¹ 21 And they willed to receive him into the vessel, and soon [fn] that vessel was at that land to which they were going.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this miracle of walking on the sea explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-33. Compare Mark 6:45-52.

John 6:21

Immediately - Quickly. Before a long time. How far they were from the land we know not, but there is no evidence that there was a miracle in the case. The word translated “immediately” does not of necessity imply that there was no interval of time, but that there was not a long interval. Thus, in Matthew 13:5, in the parable of the sower, “and immediately (the same word in Greek) they sprung up,” etc., Mark 4:17; Matthew 24:29; 3 John 1:14.
