So they went away in a boat This phrase indicates a deliberate action taken by Jesus and His disciples to withdraw from the crowds.

Teaching Points The Importance of Rest and SolitudeJesus models the need for rest and withdrawal from the busyness of life to recharge spiritually and physically. Intentional Retreat for Spiritual Renewal Solitude is not just about physical rest but also about spiritual renewal and communion with God. Balancing Ministry and Personal Time Even in the midst of active ministry, Jesus prioritized time away from the crowds, teaching us to balance service with personal time with God. Following Jesus' Example As followers of Christ, we should emulate His practice of seeking solitude to strengthen our relationship with God. Recognizing Human Limitations Acknowledging our need for rest and solitude is a recognition of our human limitations and dependence on God.Verse 32. - And they went away in the boat (τῷ πλοίῳ) to a desert place apart - the boat, no doubt, which our Lord had ordered to be always in attendance upon him. We learn from St. Luke (Luke 9:10) that this desert place was near to "a city called Bethsaida." It seems that there were two places called Bethsaida - one in Galilee proper, and the other to the north-east of the Sea of Galilee. It was to the neighborhood of this latter place that our Lord here directs the boat to take him. The other Bethsaida is mentioned lower down at Ver. 45. The word Bethsaida means the "fish village."
