Contextual Overview

15 Then knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain alone by Himself. 16 And when it became evening, His disciples went down on the sea. 17 And entering into the boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had already occurred, and Jesus had not come to them. 18 And the sea was aroused by a great wind blowing. 19 Then having rowed about twenty five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. And He having come near the boat, they were afraid. 20 But He said to them, I AM! Do not fear. 21 Then they desired to take Him into the boat. And the boat was instantly at the land to which they were going.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
