And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.

And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

And when even was come, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.

When evening was come, the boat was half way across the Lake, while he Himself was on shore alone.

And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.

And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.

The ship was in the midst of the sea - See all the parts of this wonderful transaction considered, on Matthew 14:22-33 (note).

And when even was come,.... The second evening, and it was properly night:
the ship was in the midst of the sea; of Galilee, about twenty five or thirty furlongs from the shore; see John 6:19;
and he alone on the land; upon the mountain. This is observed, partly to show what distress the disciples were in, in the midst of the sea, having a hard gale of wind, and their master not with them; and partly to show that there was no way, humanly speaking, of Christ's getting to the ship, in order to go over; and is an illustration of the following miracle, of walking so many furlongs, as he must, upon the water, in a stormy, blustering night, to get to it.

And when even was come--the later evening (see on Mark 6:35). It had come even when the disciples embarked (Matthew 14:23; John 6:16).
the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land--John says (John 6:17), "It was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them." Perhaps they made no great effort to push across at first, having a lingering hope that their Master would yet join them, and so allowed the darkness to come on. "And the sea arose" (adds the beloved disciple, John 6:18), "by reason of a great wind that blew."
