Context of Mark 4:36

34But apart from a parable, He wasn’t speaking to them. Yet when they were alone, to His own disciples He would explain everything. 35Now on that same day in the evening, He says to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side.” After leaving the crowd, they take Him along in the boat, just as He was. And other boats were with Him. 37A great windstorm arises, and the waves were rushing into the boat. The boat was beginning to fill up. 38But Yeshua was in the back of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. They wake Him up and say to Him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are perishing?”

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 36They took him even as he was in the ship - That is, the disciples; he was now ͅ ͅ, in the boat, i.e. his own boat which usually waited on him, and out of which it appears he was then teaching the people. There were several others there which he might have gone in, had this one not been in the place. The construction of this verse is exceedingly difficult; the meaning appears to be this: - The disciples sailed off with him just as he was in the boat out of…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35-41Verses 35-41 See the notes at Matthew 8:18-27. Mark 4:36 Even as he was in the ship - They took him without making any preparation for the voyage; without providing any food or raiment. He was sitting in a ship, or boat, instructing the people.

Their faith appeared weak, and their prayers strong. When our wicked hearts are like the troubled sea which cannot rest, when our passions are unruly, let us think we hear the law of Christ, saying, Be silent, be dumb. When without are fightings, and within are fears, and the spirits are in a tumult, if he say, "Peace, be still," there is a great…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 35-41This passage focuses on the greatness of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The authority of Jesus over the forces of nature showed that he is divine (truly God). the other side: The eastern side of the Sea of Galilee was the region of the Gerasenes (5:1). The presence of other boats following him shows how popular Jesus had become.Read the comment

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship--that is, without any preparation, and without so much as leaving the vessel, out of which He had been all day teaching.
