This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Sat in the sea (kathēsthai en tēi thalassēi). In the boat, of course, which was in the sea. He first sat by the beach (Mat 13:1) and then a very great multitude (ochlos pleistos) made him enter a boat in which he sat and taught. It was a common experience now to teach the crowds on the beach (Mar 2:13; Mar 3:7-9).
There is gathered (sunagetai). Graphic pictorial present again. See the crowds pressing Jesus into the sea.
