Exegesis
The prepositional phrase peran tēs thalassēs {πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης | pé-ran tēs tha-lás-sēs} ‘on the other side of the sea’ supplies spatial separation between this crowd and the earlier scene of Jesus and the disciples.
In context — John 6:22
On the next day, the crowd standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other little boat there except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.
