Jesus left the house he was staying in and went down to the seaside where he began to teach.
A great multitude came to be with Jesus and hear him teach. The crowd was so great that Jesus got into a boat and pushed it a little ways offshore.
Then Jesus sat in the boat while the crowd stood on the beach.
And Jesus began to teach them using parables.
