Jesus teaches by the sea using parables. In the Parable of the Sower, He explains how the Word is received: snatched by Satan, choked by worldly cares, or bearing fruit in good soil. He compares the Kingdom to a lamp, secret growth, and a mustard seed. Crossing the sea, a fierce storm strikes while Jesus sleeps. Woken by fearful disciples, He rebukes the wind and sea, saying, "Peace, be still." The calm waters leave them terrified, asking, "What manner of man is this?"

Pharisees criticize the disciples for eating with unwashed hands. Jesus rebukes them for elevating human tradition above God's commandments. He teaches that true defilement comes from the evil within the human heart, not from food. In Tyre, a Gentile woman’s humble faith moves Him to heal her daughter. Later, in Decapolis, Jesus heals a deaf and mute man, sighing "Ephphatha" ("Be opened"). The astonished crowds declare, "He hath done all things well."
