As the crowds begin to gather in greater number, Jesus gets in a boat, pushes out a little, and preaches to his followers; this would have helped to amplify his voice and give him a little space from the those who were pushing in on him. As Jesus performs miracles and signs that highlight his divinity and his power over the created order, he gains more followers, for they begin to see that he is more than just a gifted speaker. The Pharisees are upset and confused about the way Jesus acts, and they question what he teaches, being especially incensed that he would declare that a man’s sins would be forgiven.
