54. τοῖς ὄχλοις. ‘To the multitudes,’ whom He now addresses, having finished the lessons which were most necessary for His timid and discouraged disciples.

νεφέλην. Perhaps the reading may be τὴν ν. (comp. Matthew 16:2-3), ‘the cloud’ which rises over the west. The τὴν may have been lost by homoeoteleuton.

ἀνατέλλουσαν ἐπὶ δυσμῶν. In Hebrew the same word is used for ‘west’ and ‘sea.’ A cloud rising from the Mediterranean indicated heavy rain. 1 Kings 18:44-45.
