Commentators note that Jesus 'sat' with his disciples, a common posture for Jewish teachers. This wasn't just for physical rest but for intentional instruction. Scholars like Spurgeon and Gill see this as a picture of Jesus' calm, unhurried teaching style, creating a moment of repose and private conversation with his closest followers before the crowds arrived.
