And when Jesus saw great crowds around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side.
And immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat, and to go ahead of Him to the other side, until He could dismiss the crowds.
When He had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed Him.
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
Now when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to Him; and He was beside the sea.
And immediately He compelled His disciples to step into the boat and to go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He could dismiss the crowd.
And having dismissed them, and stepping into the boat again, He went away to the other side.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." And they put out to sea.
Therefore Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, withdrew to the mountain by Himself.
