23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
23 (Howbeit G235 G1161 there came G2064 other G243 boats G4142 from G1537 Tiberias G5085 nigh G1451 unto the place G5117 where G3699 they did eat G5315 bread, G740 after that the Lord G2962 had given thanks:) G2168
23 (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
23 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),
23 (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)
23 However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
23 Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

Commentary on John 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have,
Jhn 6:1-14
We have here an account of Christ's feeding five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes, which miracle is in this respect remarkable, that it is the only passage of the actions of Christ's life that is recorded by all the four evangelists. John, who does not usually relate what had been recorded by those who wrote before him, yet relates this, because of the reference the following discourse has to it. Observe,
Jhn 6:15-21
Here is,
Jhn 6:22-27
In these verses we have,
Jhn 6:28-59
Whether this conference was with the Capernaites, in whose synagogue Christ now was, or with those who came from the other side of the sea, is not certain nor material; however, it is an instance of Christ's condescension that he gave them leave to ask him questions, and did not resent the interruption as an affront, no, not from his common hearers, though not his immediate followers. Those that would be apt to teach must be swift to hear, and study to answer. It is the wisdom of teachers, when they are asked even impertinent unprofitable questions, thence to take occasion to answer in that which is profitable, that the question may be rejected, but not the request. Now,
Jhn 6:60-71
We have here an account of the effects of Christ's discourse. Some were offended and others edified by it; some driven from him and others brought nearer to him.
