Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to third person plural verbs, enebesan {ἐνέβησαν | e-né-bē-san} “they entered” and elthon {ἦλθον | êl-thon} “they went,” depicting two sequential aorist actions that summarize the crowd’s decisive response.
In context — John 6:24
When therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples , they themselves got into the small boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
