"The apostles, without their Master sent off by themselves entered the boat and in silence began to row toward Bethsaida on the western shore... Hardly a word was spoken; they were all thinking of the Master alone in the hills. Had he forsaken them? He had never before sent them all away and refused to go with them. What could all this mean?" (1702/3)
A storm came up while the apostles were on their way back to Bethsaida that prevented them reaching their destination before darkness closed in. As a result they anchored their boat offshore "near Zebedee's house," and slept through until noontime the following day. (1703) This may account for some of the apparent confusion generated by the Gospel accounts that have them going to both Gennesaret and Bethsaida (see following article). The Urantia Book says that shortly after midnight, Jesus, in company with Mark lad, walked "around the lake and across the river, back to Bethsaida" arriving there in time to meet Andrew who was first to awaken and come ashore. (1703)
Our readers are now left to their own devices to correlate the results of modem archaeological and Biblical research with The Urantia Book account of these events.
