Then, as He walked on a little farther, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, who were in their boat repairing nets.

He told His disciples to have a small boat waiting for Him [i.e., from which He could address the people. See 4:1], to prevent His being thronged by the large crowd.

Jesus again began teaching along the shore of the lake [of Galilee]. A huge crowd gathered around Him so that He had to sit in a boat out in the lake [to speak to them], while all the crowd stood on the shore.

And leaving the crowd, the disciples took Him in their boat just the way He was [i.e., this probably means without His making provision for the trip]. They were accompanied by other boats also.

[Then] a violent windstorm arose [on the lake] and huge waves began splashing into the boat until it began to fill with water.

Jesus was sleeping on a pillow in the stern of the boat. They awakened Him, shouting, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

When Jesus left the boat, immediately a man with an evil spirit came from the graveyard to meet Him.

As He entered the boat the man who had been dominated by evil spirits begged for permission to be allowed to go with Him.

When Jesus had crossed over again in a boat to the other side [i.e., to the northwest shore of the lake, probably in the vicinity of Capernaum], a large crowd gathered around Him along the shore of the lake.

So, they [i.e., Jesus and His apostles] left by boat and went to a separate place [where they could be] alone.

And about then Jesus compelled His disciples to get into a boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side [i.e., to the west side of Lake Galilee] to Bethsaida [Note: This was apparently a different "Bethsaida" from the one mentioned in Luke 9:10, which was on the east side of Lake Galilee], while He Himself sent the crowd away.

When evening came the boat [containing His disciples] was in the middle of the lake while He remained alone on the shore.

Then He got up into the boat with them and the wind [immediately] stopped. And His disciples were greatly amazed [at this],

And when they had [finally] crossed over [i.e., to the west side of Lake Galilee], they arrived in the district of Gennesaret and moored the boat on shore.

As soon as they got out of the boat the people recognized Jesus

Immediately He boarded a boat with His disciples and crossed [to the west side of the lake], to the region of Dalmanutha. [Note: Matt. 15:39 says "Magadan," which was probably in the same vicinity as Dalmanutha].

Then He left them and boarded a boat again and sailed to the other side [i.e., the east side of Lake Galilee].

Now Jesus' disciples had forgotten to take [any] food [with them], and had only one loaf of bread in the boat.
