When the crowd realized that Jesus and his disciples had already left, they got in boats and headed to Capernaum to look for him.

Some of his disciples started whispering to each other like, 'Wait, what's he talking about? He just said we won't see him for a little while, then we will see him again, and something about going to the Father? We're confused.'

So his disciples rushed over and shook him awake, shouting, 'Jesus, help us! We're literally about to die!'
