But the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. The disciples' situation on the sea — far from land, beaten by waves, against the wind — is the predicament that Jesus will address by walking to them. The wind against them communicates the difficulty of the disciples' position without their teacher: the journey that began at Jesus' command has become dangerous.
