Matthew 8:23
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
And when he was entered into a ship,.... Which was got ready by his disciples, or hired by them for his use, according to the directions he had given,
his disciples followed him into the ship, and they only; for as for the men hereafter mentioned, they were the men that belonged to the ship, and had the management of it: the multitude were dismissed, and in order to be clear of them, Christ took this method; and being desirous also of trying the faith of his disciples, he ordered it so, that they should be alone with him.
