Jesus
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Greek "Iēsous," which corresponds to the Hebrew name "Yeshua" or "Joshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This name is significant as it encapsulates the mission of Christ—to bring salvation to humanity. In the context of Matthew, Jesus is portrayed as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, the Messiah who brings the Kingdom of God to earth. His actions and teachings throughout the Gospel demonstrate His divine authority and compassion.

got into a boat
The act of getting into a boat signifies a transition and movement in Jesus' ministry. Boats were a common mode of transportation across the Sea of Galilee, which was central to much of Jesus' ministry. This phrase indicates Jesus' readiness to move and reach different communities, emphasizing His commitment to spreading His message. The boat also symbolizes the Church, carrying the message of Christ across the waters of the world.

crossed over
This phrase suggests a deliberate action of moving from one place to another, often symbolizing a transition from one phase of ministry to another. In the broader biblical narrative, crossing over water often signifies a passage or transformation, reminiscent of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or the Jordan River. Here, it underscores Jesus' mission to reach out to different people, breaking barriers and bringing His message of salvation to all.

came to His own town
"His own town" refers to Capernaum, which served as Jesus' base of operations during His Galilean ministry. Capernaum was a significant location, strategically positioned on trade routes and populated by a diverse community. This phrase highlights Jesus' return to a familiar place, where He had already performed miracles and taught the people. It underscores the importance of community and the impact of Jesus' ministry in places where He was known personally. The return to His own town also reflects the fulfillment of His mission to bring the message of the Kingdom to both familiar and new territories.

IX.

(1) Here, again, the order of the facts narrated varies so much in the three Gospels that the labours of the harmonist are baffled.

ST. MATTHEW.

ST. MARK.

ST. LUKE.

(1.) The Paralytic, Matthew 9:1-8.

Mark 2:1-12.

Luke 5:18-26. . . .

Verses 1-8. - The paralytic forgiven and healed. Parallel passages: Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26. (For connexion of thought, cf. Matthew 8:18, note.) In the parallel passages this narrative follows our Matthew 8:1-4. Matthew's account is shorter, as usual. Verse 1. - And he entered into a ship; boat (Revised Version). So completely did he grant the request of the Gadarenes. Observe that this expression is not an original phrase of the writer of the First Gospel, but is a reminiscence of the source that he has just used (cf. Mark 5:18; Luke 8:37; in both of which it now forms part of the preceding narrative). And passed over; crossed over (Revised Version); διεπέρασεν, also in the source (cf. Mark 5:21). And came into his own city; i.e. Capernaum, where Mark says that the following miracle took place. The thought is that of John 1:11. Yet observe the contrast with Matthew 8:34. There "all the city" rejected him; here some of the leaders reject him, but the multitudes fear and glorify God (ver. 8).
