Exegesis
The aorist verb apelthen {ἀπῆλθεν | a-pêl-then} serves as the main finite verb and summarizes a completed movement, while the subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} is placed after the verb, a common narrative word order in Greek that keeps the focus on the action.
In context — John 6:1
After these things Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee, that is, the Sea of Tiberias.
