Exegesis
The finite verb eiden {εἶδεν | eî-den} “he saw” is formally third person singular, but with the explicit subject ho ochlos {ὁ ὄχλος | ho ókh-los} “the crowd” it functions as a collective subject, so the sense is “the crowd saw.”
Root and etymology
dedelta epsilon
“but, and, now”
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.
