Jesus preaches in a ship
The Biblical narrative of Jesus preaching from a ship / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This narrative is told in Luke 5:1-3,[1] Mark 4:1, and Matthew 13:1–3.[2] Owing to the vast crowds that followed him from the surrounding towns and villages to listen to his doctrine, Jesus retired to the sea coast. There he entered a boat, that he used as a pulpit, and addressed the crowd on the shore.

The narrative occurs as an introduction to a set of Jesus' parable teachings, which starts with the Parable of the Sower.
Numerous artists have made this event the subject of their artwork, including, James Tissot and Alexandre Bida.
