Ver. 3. He prayed him] Gr. He gently asked him, ηρωτησεν, will you be pleased to thrust out a little? SeePhilippians 2:8,9. Posse el nolle, nobile est.
Taught the people out of the ship] Any place served him for a pulpit. So if men be desirous to hear, they will make a mat a seat, a pair of legs a seat.
