This reflects Jesus' authority and intentionality in directing His disciples. The act of making them get into the boat indicates His control over the situation, possibly to protect them from the crowd's messianic fervor (<a href="/john/6-15.htm">John 6:15</a>). Boats were common on the Sea of Galilee, used for fishing and transport, highlighting the disciples' familiarity with this mode of travel.and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida Bethsaida, meaning "house of fishing," was a town on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was the hometown of several disciples, including Peter, Andrew, and Philip (<a href="/john/1-44.htm">John 1:44</a>). This instruction to go ahead suggests a planned rendezvous, emphasizing Jesus' foreknowledge and divine planning. The journey to Bethsaida also sets the stage for subsequent miracles and teachings, reinforcing the theme of Jesus' ministry expanding beyond Jewish territories.while He dismissed the crowd Jesus' decision to dismiss the crowd Himself underscores His compassion and responsibility as a shepherd to His flock. This act also reflects His desire for solitude and prayer, as seen in the following verses. The crowd, having witnessed the miracle of the loaves and fishes, might have been eager to crown Him king, but Jesus' dismissal indicates His rejection of earthly kingship in favor of His spiritual mission.

It was probably suggested by some one who did not know that there were two Bethsaidas, in order to avoid the seeming difficulty which presented itself from the statement in St. Luke, that the Five Thousand were fed at or near Bethsaida.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 45. - The other side. It would seem, as has already been stated, that there were two Bethsaidas (or "places of fish" - fish-villages) - one to the north-east of the Sea of Galilee, not far from where the Jordan enters it, called Bethsaida Julias; and the other on the western side of the sea itself, near to Capernaum. Again and again our Lord crossed this sea to escape the crowds who followed him about, and now wished "to take him by force and make him a king." He desired for a time to be in retirement, in order that he might pray with the greater earnestness, and freedom from interruption. He also wished to make occasion for the miracle which was to follow, namely, the stilling of the tempest. <a href="/commentaries/mark/6-45.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Immediately εὐθὺς (euthys) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_2112.htm">Strong's 2112: </a> Immediately, soon, at once.
