“Jesus left them.
He got into
The boat again.
He went across
To the other side.”
καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἐμβὰς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
This a unique but yet common phrase of Mark. Jesus left an ambiguous them (καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς), without indicating that it was the Pharisees or a crowd. Then he embarked on the boat again (πάλιν ἐμβὰς). He went across to the other side (ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πέραν). Jesus leaving by way of a boat to cross the Sea of Galilee was a predominant theme of Mark. Quite often, it was with an unclear destination, just across the sea, or the other side as here.
