Now Jesus, when He saw the great throngs around Him, gave orders to cross to the other side [of the lake].
One of those days He and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, Let us go across to the other side of the lake. So they put out to sea.
Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone.
On that same day [when] evening had come, He said to them, Let us go over to the other side [of the lake].
Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds.
And He went away and left them and, getting into the boat again, He departed to the other side.
And at once He insisted that the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He was sending the throng away.
And when Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side, a great throng gathered about Him, and He was at the lakeshore.
WHEN JESUS came down from the mountain, great throngs followed Him.
