Matthew 15:39

New King James Version

And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

See the chapter Copy

immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.
