When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Unless any one affirm that the "when" is here used by them in the sense of "how." But it is worth while also to notice here the fickleness of their impulses. For they who said, "This is that Prophet"; they who were anxious to "take Him and make Him a king," now when they have found Him take no such counsel, but having cast out their astonishment, they no longer admire Him for His former deeds. They sought Him, desiring again to enjoy a table like the first.
Still when they came to Him after so great a wonder, they asked Him not how He crossed over, how He arrived there, nor sought to understand so great a sign. But what say they? "Master, when camest Thou hither?"
(Tr. xxv. 8) So He Who had fled to the mountain, mixes and converses with the multitude. Only just now they would have kept Him, and made Him king. But after the sacrament of the miracle, He begins to discourse, and fills their souls with His word, whose bodies He had satisfied with bread.
Matthew Henry · Verses 22–27
Instead of answering the inquiry how he came there, Jesus blamed their asking. The utmost earnestness should be employed in seeking salvation, in the use of appointed means; yet it is to be sought only as the gift of the Son of man. Him the Father has sealed, proved to be God. He declared the Son of man to be the Son of God with power.
