Jesus, after sitting down in the boat, began to Teach the people. This was an unusual scenario. It is most probably how the Jewish Rabbis would teach. Very different from most of our Churches today. This actually leaves us a lot to think about regarding the most effective ways of having Services in our Churches. There is no doubt that, in this case the people heard well. Jesus' Ministry was hugely practical, whatever He was doing.
