I never thought about that while reading the parable i had only focused on jesus calming the sea. Other than the dating there is no evidence connecting the boat to jesus or his disciples.

Jesus was the peace of god in their boat. Besides cedar planking and oak frames five other woods were used. The jesus boat had a rounded stern and a fine bow. What a joy and comfort to know that jesus is with us in the boat even though seemingly asleep.

And so the next that we see of him is that as soon as he gets into the ship he falls fast asleep on the wooden pillow a hard bed for his head in the stern of the little fishing boat and there he lies so tired let us put it into plain prose and strip away the false veil of big words with which we invest that nature so tired that the storm does not awake him.

They could have looked to the stern of their troubled ship seen jesus asleep and said to one another if jesus is able to sleep in this storm i guess we must be alright i do not really think jesus calmed the storm so they would make it to the other side.

The apostles are trying their best to keep the boat afloat and not perish and all the while jesus is asleep on a cushion in the stern of the boat. It was only when they asked jesus for help that the situation turned around. They were going to do that anyway. It is curious that it is from the stern where the boat is controlled where the direction of the vessel takes place and it was there where jesus was sleeping.

And that he has all power in heaven and on earth.
