This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
32. ἀπῆλθον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ. They went away in their boat (art. as in Mar 4:36) to an uninhabited spot (Mk, Mt.), to a town called Bethsaida (Lk.). The difference is insignificant, and there need be no error. They may have left their boat near the town and have gone into the country. Lk. (Luk 9:12) does not suppose that the miracle took place in a town. The Bethsaida of Lk. is Bethsaida Julias, E. of the Jordan, near the place where it flows into the Lake. The existence of another Bethsaida on the lake W. of the Jordan is doubtful; see on Mar 6:45. The repetition of Christ’s κατʼ ἰδίαν and εἰς ἔρημον τόπον marks the exact compliance with His request. Nothing is said about fear of Antipas.
