Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself. ¹⁶ When evening came on, His disciples went down to the Lake. ¹⁷ There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. ¹⁸ The Lake also was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. ¹⁹ When, however, they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water and coming near the boat. ²⁰ They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid." ²¹ Then they were willing to take Him on board; and in a moment the boat reached the shore at the point 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.
