After sending the crowds away, Jesus got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala.
Immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side of the sea, while he sent the crowds away.
Besides women and children, there were four thousand men who had eaten.
Then he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, so that the crowd would not crush him.
Jesus immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
