Contextual Overview
1 THAT same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside. 2 And many people gathered around him, so that he had to go up and sit in a boat, and all the people stood on the seashore. 3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, and said, Behold the sower went out to sow; 4 And when he had sown, some seed fell on the roadside, and the fowls came and ate it. 5 Other fell upon the rock, where there was not sufficient soil; and it sprang up earlier because the ground was not deep enough; 6 But when the sun shone, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it dried up; 7 And other fell among thistles, and the thistles sprung up and choked it. 8 And other fell in good soil, and bore fruit, some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 10 Then his disciples drew near to him and said, Why do you speak to them in parables?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And great multitudes were gathered unto him,.... Some on one account, and some on another; some to see his person, others his miracles; some healing for their bodies, and others for their souls; some for the loaves, and others to hear him preach; and of these there were several sorts, as the following parable shows.
So that he went into a ship: both for his own advantage, that he might not be crowded, and pressed by the people, and have more room, and a freer air to speak in, and for theirs, that they might both see and hear him better.
And sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore; as was the then custom of the Jewish doctors and hearers, the one to sit, and the other to stand. :-. Christ sat upon the deck of the ship; or perhaps this ship was no other than an open boat, which was put to sea, some little distance from the shore; upon which the people stood in great numbers, with much convenience and attention.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sea-side - This was the Sea of Tiberias. The multitude stood on the shore near to him, so that he could be easily heard. He went into a ship - that is, a boat; and sat down to address them. Few spectacles could be more interesting than a vast crowd on the hanks of a smooth and tranquil sea - an emblem of his instructions - and the Son of God addressing them on the great interests of eternity.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 13:2. Into a ship — το πλοιον, THE vessel or boat. Mr. Wakefield supposes (which is very likely) that a particular vessel is uniformly specified, which seems to have been kept on the lake for the use of Christ and his apostles: it probably belonged to some of the fishermen, (see Matthew 4:22), who, he thinks, occasionally, at least, followed their former occupation. See John 21:3.
The thought of pious Quesnel on this verse should not be neglected. We see here a representation of the Church, which consists of the people united to their pastors. These, being more exposed to violent tossings and storms, are, as it were, in a ship, while those continue at ease on the shore.
