This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That a little boat should wait on him (hina ploiarion proskarterēi autōi). The boat was to keep close (note present tense subjunctive of proskartereō) to the shore in constant readiness and move as Jesus did. Whether he needed it or not is not told, but it was there at hand.
Lest they should throng him (hina mē thlibōsin auton). Press or crush him. Jesus stayed with the crowds for they needed him. Present subjunctive again.
