Bible Question: before the miracle of the filling of the fishnets, why did jesus enter the boat and ask peter to thrust a little way from the land? |
Bible Answer: I do not believe it is possible to give a scriptural answer. Perhaps it is possible to give a practical answer that is not disqualified by scripture. Sound is absorbed by sand very easily also plants and cloth and even our flesh. That is the environment Jesus was speaking in. Sound is not easily absorbed by water but is reflected off the water. He was simply making it easier for people to hear Him speak. Note Matt 13:1 That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea. Matt 13:2 And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach. Also Mark 4:1 He began to teach again by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat in the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land. It also appears that in Mark 3:9 "And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him" it was to be able to adress the people without being crowded. Who knows what kind of pushing and grabbing might take place. He was often being pushed by crowds. Mark 5:24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. |
