Reference:

The stormy sea represents the powerful demonic opposition to this Gentile mission. Jesus wants to cross to the other side to fulfill his mission…and the storm, the power of evil, is trying to prevent him from his goal. But, for all of its chaotic force and power, this “stormy sea” presents no real obstacle for Jesus. It’s as if Jesus has exorcised the demon of the wind and the waves…and his triumph over the storm offers all the justification Jesus could ever need for including the Gentiles in his proclamation of the good news of God’s kingdom. -from “Not Alone in the Boat,” sermon preached by Bishop Dean E. Wolfe, Rector, Sunday, June 20, 2021.

Jesus crosses the Sea of Galilee 6 times. 3 times are uneventful

3 times are eventful:

still the storm

walks on water

discuss the multiplication of the loaves of bread

Oh, “crossing the Sea of Galilee” refers to a sea that separated Jew and Gentile.

So, in Mark’s gospel, Jesus is suggesting going to the Gentiles.

So, what did Jesus teach the Gentiles on the other side of the Sea of Galilee?

I left a message on this Facebook post of St. Bart’s. Maybe they will reply to my question about Jesus’s Gentile mission.

Did Jesus give them a sermon? I don’t remember.

I have to pick up at 14:47 / 17:18.

QUESTION: Jesus’s Gentile mission? To what is this sermon referring?

ANSWER:

Jesus crosses the Sea of Galilee

FROM GALILEE

to go

TO Bethaida, GAULANITIS

= = =

I was going through my Catholic Study Bible last night, Gospel of Mark.

Mark Chapter 4 “Lets cross to the other side, but a storm comes up which is calmed by Jesus”
[This is probably the scripture for the sermon in the original post.]

Mark Chapter 6 “Get going across the Sea of Galilee towards Bethsaida. I will follow you by walking on the water like Hermes with his sandals on.”

[No storm this time]

Mark Chapter 8 “When they arrived at Bethsaida…”

Here is an excellent map of the Travels of Jesus according to the Gospel of Mark
