John 6:23

21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

22 The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Him.

25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
