In , Mark showed how Jesus helped the disciples overcome an amazing fear.

Background of Text
The question of Mark’s gospel is: Who is Jesus?
The answer: “Jesus Christ, the Son of God” ().
In , Jesus is shown as the Lord over nature (), over the demons (), over sickness (), and over death ().
Scene 1: The Scene (vv.
35-36)
Explanation
“On that day” — same day of teaching parables from the boat ().
From Capernaum (NW tip of Sea of Galilee), they walked to the eastern shore.
“the other side” – the SE shore, a predominantly Gentile region ().
No major cities…so much fewer people.
A time of needed rest.
Boat = 27’ long, 7.5’ wide (based on a fishing boat found in 1986 off NW shore of Sea of Galilee, 120 BC-40 AD).
Holds about 15 people (Jesus + 12 disciples)
Only Mark tells us there are “other boats…with Him.”
Sea of Galilee — 13 miles long x 8 miles wide…700’ below sea level (lowest fresh water body on planet; Dead Sea is not “fresh water”)…surrounded by mountains.
AKA: Lake of Gennesaret (), the Sea of Chinnereth (), and even the Sea of Tiberias ().
Shaped like a harp, it sits about 30 miles east of the Med.
Sea.
The steep hills and cliffs that encircle it make it vulnerable to high winds, which can cause sudden and violent storms.
In 1992, a storm generated 10’ high waves on the lake!!!
When they started their journey, it was a calm day.
says they were “sailing along,” indicating a steady breeze…not rowing.
After a long day of teaching and ministering, Jesus was exhausted and fell asleep in the stern (back) of the boat.
