SCRIPTURE

"Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth." — Luke 8:22 (ASV)

Now it came to pass on a certain day
The same day at even, as Mark says, (Mark 4:35) in which he delivered the parables of the sower, and of the seed cast into the ground, and of the grain of mustard seed:

that he went into a ship with his disciples ;
they following him into it, (Matthew 8:23)

and he said unto them, let us go over unto the other side of the
lake ;
of Gennesaret, or sea of Galilee:

and they launched forth ;
into the sea; they set sail, and proceeded: this clause is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions.
