The "other side of the sea" indicates the Sea of Galilee, a significant location in Jesus' ministry. This body of water is central to many of His miracles and teachings. The crowd's pursuit of Jesus across the sea demonstrates their eagerness to see more signs and wonders, reflecting a common theme in the Gospels where people seek Jesus for physical needs rather than spiritual truths.<p><b>they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”</b><br>The term "Rabbi" is a title of respect, acknowledging Jesus as a teacher. This reflects the Jewish custom of addressing those who were considered learned in the Scriptures. The question "when did You get here?" reveals the crowd's curiosity and perhaps confusion about how Jesus managed to arrive at the location without them noticing. This follows the miraculous event where Jesus walked on water, an act that the crowd was unaware of. Their question underscores a recurring theme in the Gospels: the misunderstanding of Jesus' true nature and mission. The crowd's focus on the timing of His arrival rather than the significance of His presence highlights their limited understanding of His divine identity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>Central figure in this passage, known as the Messiah and the Son of God.
