Not because ye saw signs (oux oti eidete shmeia). Second aorist active indicative of the defective verb oraw. They had seen the "signs" wrought by Jesus (verse John 6:2), but this one had led to wild fanaticism (verse John 6:14) and complete failure to grasp the spiritual lessons.
But because ye ate of the loaves (all oti efagete ek twn artwn). Second aorist active indicative of esqiw, defective verb.
Ye were filled (exortasqhte). First aorist passive indicative of xortazw, from xortov (grass) as in verse John 6:10, to eat grass, then to eat anything, to satisfy hunger. They were more concerned with hungry stomachs than with hungry souls. It was a sharp and deserved rebuke.
