“Now when Jesus saw
Great crowds
Around him,
He gave orders
To go over
To the other side.”
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὄχλον περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
This idea of crossing over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee can be found in Mark, chapter 4:35 and Luke, chapter 8:22. Jesus saw these crowds around him (Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὄχλον περὶ αὐτὸν), so he commanded or ordered his followers to leave or go over to the other side (ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν), the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee.
