wait for Him at Bethsaida? John the evangelist might help to respond this question. In John it is read that the disciples were crossing the Sea to Capernaum (John 6: 17). Apparently, the disciples obeyed the Lord by going to Bethsaida. However, given that Jesus did not arrive and was already getting dark, they decided to cross the Sea again but now towards Capernaum.
