40. THE WAITING MULTITUDE

40. ἀπεδέξατο αὐτὸν ὁ ὄχλος. The multitude welcomed him. We have the same verb apparently in this sense in Acts 15:4; Acts 28:30, and elsewhere. They would see the sail of His boat as it started back from Gergesa, and the storm had probably driven back the other boats. He would naturally sail to Bethsaida or Capernaum. It is impossible here to enter into the uncertain question as to the exact order of events. For all details on that subject I must refer to my Life of Christ.
