After he had finished his parables among the multitude, and had explained them to his disciples:

he saith unto them;

let us pass over unto the other side:
that is, of the sea of Galilee, or lake of Gennesaret, to the country of the Gadarenes, and Gergesenes; with a view for retirement and rest, after the fatigue of the day; and for the trial of the faith of his disciples, by a storm which he knew would arise, whilst they were on the sea; and for the sake of a miracle he was to work on the other side, after related.

Mark 4:35 In-Context

33 With many parables like these he spoke the message to them, to the extent that they were capable of hearing it.

34 He did not say a thing to them without using a parable; when he was alone with his own talmidim he explained everything to them.

35 That day, when evening had come, Yeshua said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."

36 So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.

37 A furious windstorm arose, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was close to being swamped.
