“The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;”
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. — the crowd's observation that Jesus did not board the boat creates logical puzzle: how did Jesus cross the lake? This prompts their search (v. 24), generating the occasion for the Bread of Life discourse.
