| made as though, &c.--(Compare Mar 6:48; Gen 18:3, Gen 18:5; Gen 32:24-26). |

| He made as though he would have gone further - He did not "say" he would go farther, but he kept on as if it was not his intention to stop, and doubtless he "would" have gone on if they had not constrained him to tarry. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
They went (ἐπορεύοντο)
Imperfect, were going. So Rev,
Made as though (προσεποιήσατο)
The verb means originally to add or attach to; hence to take to one's self what does not belong to him; and so, to pretend; though pretending as implying anything false, does not attach to this act of Jesus. He was going on, and would have gone on but for their invitation. Only here in New Testament. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He made as though he would go farther - Walking forward, as if he was going on; and he would have done it, had they not pressed him to stay. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He made as though he would have gone farther - That is, he was going on, as though he intended to go farther; and so he doubtless would had they not earnestly pressed him to lodge with them. His preaching had made a deep impression upon their hearts, Luk 24:32, and now they feel it their greatest privilege to entertain the preacher.
This is a constant effect of the doctrine of Christ: wherever it is felt, the Author of it, the ever-blessed Jesus, is earnestly entreated to dwell in the heart; and he who preaches it, is amply provided with the necessaries of life by those who have received his testimony. |

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
