Mar 2:13 | RWP | e4.org | By the seaside ( παρα την θαλασσαν ). A pretty picture of Jesus walking by the sea and a walk that Jesus loved ( ; ). Probably Jesus went out from the crowd in Peter's house as soon as he could. It was a joy to get a whiff of fresh air by the sea. But it was not long till all the crowd began to come to Jesus ( ηρχετο , imperfect) and Jesus was teaching them ( εδιδασκεν , imperfect). It was the old story over again, but Jesus did not run away.

‏ Mark 2:13

By the seaside ( παρα την θαλασσαν ). A pretty picture of Jesus walking by the sea and a walk that Jesus loved (Mr 1:16; Mt 4:18). Probably Jesus went out from the crowd in Peter's house as soon as he could. It was a joy to get a whiff of fresh air by the sea. But it was not long till all the crowd began to come to Jesus ( ηρχετο, imperfect) and Jesus was teaching them ( εδιδασκεν, imperfect). It was the old story over again, but Jesus did not run away.
