Contextual Overview
1 He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered. 2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the day of Shabbat, that they might accuse him. 3 He said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up." 4 He said to them, "Is it lawful on the day of Shabbat to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent. 5 When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other. 6 The Perushim went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 7 Yeshua withdrew to the sea with his talmidim, and a great multitude followed him from the Galil, from Yehudah, 8 from Yerushalayim, from Idumaea, beyond the Yarden, and those from around Tzor and Tzidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him. 9 He spoke to his talmidim that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him. 10 For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he spake unto his disciples,.... In an authoritative way; he ordered and commanded them,
that a small ship should wait on him: that a boat should be got ready, be near at hand, and attend him, who was on shore; that he might go into it, should there be any occasion for it; and from thence preach to the people:
because of the multitude; which came from the above parts, and all together made a very numerous body of people:
lest they should throng him; crowd, press, afflict, and distress, and make him uneasy, that he could not be able to stand conveniently, and preach to them: so that should this be the case, as it was very likely it would, having a small vessel near the shore, he could go into it, and free himself from such an inconvenience.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A small ship - Rather a âboat.â There were properly speaking, no âshipsâ on the Sea of Tiberias. This was probably a small boat that belonged to the disciples, in which he could draw off from the shore, and teach the people without being pressed by them.
Lest they should throng him - They pressed upon him in great numbers. He had healed many, and those who were still diseased pressed or crowded on him, so that his labors were interrupted and embarrassed. He therefore withdrew from the multitude, and sought a situation where he might address them to greater advantage.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 3:9. A small ship — ÏλοιαÏιον. The lytil boot, Old English MS. It was doubtless something of the boat kind, which probably belonged to some of the disciples. Our Lord was at this time teaching by the sea of Galilee. The word ship is utterly improper in many places of our translation, and tends to mislead the people.
