In the Greek, the word for "boat" (πλοῖον, ploion) is often used in the Gospels to denote a vessel for crossing water, symbolizing a journey or passage. This act of entering the boat can be seen as an act of obedience and trust, as they were following Jesus' instructions to go ahead of Him to the other side. Historically, boats were essential for travel and trade in the region, and the Sea of Galilee was a central hub for such activities. Spiritually, the boat can represent the Church, carrying believers through the tumultuous waters of life. and started across the sea to Capernaum It was already dark and Jesus had not yet come to them Toward Capernaum.--St. Matthew speaks more generally of the other (i.e., the western) side. St. Mark of Bethsaida, which was distinct from Bethsaida Julias, which was on the east of the lake. (Comp. Note on Luke 9:10.) For an account of Capernaum, see Matthew 4:13, and in this John John 6:59. Verses 17, 18. - And darkness had already come on, and Jesus had not yet come to them. This thrilling touch in John's narrative makes it more than evident that the beloved disciple was on board. He had been expecting the Master to make his appearance in some form. He had looked long and eagerly to that point on the mountainside whither he knew that Jesus had retired. The dreary and disappointed expectation, the long and weary waiting, left an indelible impression. Their natural course towards Capernaum would have been almost parallel with the shore of the lake; but it was dark and tempestuous, they could not steer. And the sea was being roused from its slumber by reason of a high wind which was blowing. If the wind came from the north, it would drift them out into the darkness and the middle of the lake, which is there, at its widest, about five miles broad, i.e. forty stadia, or furlongs. The statement of the next verse comes then into undesigned coincidence with Mark 6:47, which shows that they were "in the midst of the sea," i.e. halfway from shore to shore. This would exactly correspond with the following statement.Parallel Commentaries ...
