And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
All Commentaries on Mark 8:13 Go To Mark 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
No sign more impressed the crowds than the miracles of the loaves. Not only did they want to follow him, but also seemed ready to make him a king. In order to avoid all suspicion of usurping civil authority, he made a speedy exit after this wonderful work. He did not even leave on foot, lest they chase after him, but took off by boat. Gospel of St. Matthew, Homily
