'Side' in the Bible

Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.

The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."

When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.
