Jesus preaches in a ship by James Tissot. This narrative is told in Matthew 13:1-3, [1] Mark 4:1, and Luke 5:1-3. [2] Owing to the vast crowds that followed him from the surrounding towns and villages to listen to his doctrine, Jesus retired to the sea coast. There he entered a boat, that he used as a pulpit, and addressed the crowd on the shore.
According to the Gospel of Luke, [2] on the day of this miracle, Jesus was preaching near the Lake of Genesareth (Sea of Galilee), when he saw two boats at the water's edge. Boarding the one belonging to Simon (Peter) , and moving out a little from shore, he sat and taught the people from the boat.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. The New International Version translates the passage as: "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
In Luke, Simon Peter owns the boat that Jesus uses to preach to the multitudes who were pressing on him at the shore of Lake Gennesaret. [48] Jesus then amazes Simon and his companions James and John (Andrew is not mentioned) by telling them to lower their nets, whereupon they catch a huge number of fish. Immediately after this, they follow him ...
Jesus caught him, and commenting on his lack of faith led him back to the ship, whereupon the storm stopped. Matthew also notes that the disciples called Jesus the Son of God. [1] The fact that the John account also lacks this detail suggests that this account of "St. Peter's venture" [6] is a redactional addition by Matthew. [7]
The story is taken from the Gospel of Luke, where it is told that Jesus gave a sermon by the Sea of Galilee and performed various miracles. On the banks of the lake a large group of people had gathered around Jesus to hear the word of God. Jesus went on board the fishing boat of Peter (who was then called Simon) and spoke to the people from it.
Jesus appears to be "fond of borrowing examples from the ordinary occupations of those He addresses." McEvilly further notes that Luke "pointedly records," that it was into Peter’s boat, Jesus went to teach, and that to Peter he said these words, who was later to become the foremost among the apostles (see Matt. 16:18, 19, John 21:15, Acts 2-3).
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. The New International Version translates the passage as: And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
