Exegesis
The conjunction hōste {ὥστε | hó-ste} introduces a result clause, showing the consequence of the large gathering: auton eis ploion embanta kathēsthai {αὐτὸν εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα καθῆσθαι | au-tón eis ploî-on em-bán-ta ka-thê-sthai}. Here embanta is an aorist active participle functioning circumstantially, best understood as ‘after He had entered’ or ‘when He got into’ the boat, while kathēsthai is a present middle infinitive expressing the purpose or subsequent action ‘to sit’ in His typical teaching posture.
In context — Matthew 13:2
And many crowds were gathered to Him , so that He entered into a boat and sat down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore .
