‏ Mark 4:36

36 So ^{▼▼tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response to Jesus’ request.} after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat, ^{▼▼tn It is possible that this prepositional phrase modifies “as he was,” not “they took him along.” The meaning would then be “they took him along in the boat in which he was already sitting” (see 4:1).} ^{▼▼sn A boat that held all the disciples would be of significant size. See the note at Mark 1:19 for a description of the first-century fishing boat discovered in 1986 near Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.} and other boats were with him.
