Then he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.

On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.”

When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd.

Then as they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

Then Jesus left that place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan River. Again crowds gathered to him, and again, as was his custom, he taught them.

Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Jesus went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.

And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around him.

After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.

Peter began to speak to him, “Look, we have left everything to follow you!”
