‏ Mark 4:1

Sat in the sea ( καθησθα εν τη θαλασση ). In the boat, of course, which was in the sea. He first sat by the beach (Mt 13:1) and then a very great multitude ( οχλος πλειστος ) made him enter a boat in which he sat and taught. It was a common experience now to teach the crowds on the beach (2:1, 13; 3:7-9).

There is gathered ( συναγετα ). Graphic pictorial present again. See the crowds pressing Jesus into the sea.
