Dictionary: Jesus
OET-LV Therefore they_were_willing to_receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat became at the land to which they_were_going.
OET (OET-RV) After that they were willing to let him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at their arrival place.
In this brief section the disciples saw Jesus walking on the surface of Lake Galilee. See the parallel passages in Matthew 14:22–27 and Mark 6:45–52.
Here are other possible titles for this section:
Jesus walked on water
Jesus walked to his disciples on the water
In this paragraph Jesus showed his authority over the natural world. He was able to do what no mere human can do, walk on the surface of water.
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat,
After that they let him come into the boat,
Then they told him, “Come/Climb into the boat.”
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat: The BSB follows the Greek and is not clear about whether Jesus actually got into the boat. The disciples were certainly willing to help him climb into the boat, and the whole verse implies that this happened. So it may be natural to follow those English translations that indicate that Jesus did enter the boat. (However, do not imply that the disciples rescued Jesus.) For example:
Then they willingly took him into the boat. (GNT)
They welcomed him onto the boat. (NLT)
So they gladly took him on board. (JBP)
and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
and suddenly the boat arrived on the shore that they were moving toward.
He did so and at once they arrived at the place where they wanted to go.
and at once the boat reached the shore where they were heading: This also was a miracle. The boat reached the shore at once, at the right place.
Here are other ways to translate this clause:
immediately the boat reached the place they were heading for (GNT)
At once the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go. (NCV)

It is implied that Jesus got into the boat. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [they gladly received him into the boat]
OET-LV Therefore they_were_willing to_receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat became at the land to which they_were_going.
OET (OET-RV) After that they were willing to let him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at their arrival place.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
