Exegesis
The main verb enankasen {ἠνάγκασεν | ēnánkasen} ‘he compelled’ takes two infinitives—embenai {ἐμβῆναι | embēnai} ‘to enter’ and proagein {προάγειν | proágein} ‘to go before’—forming a complementary infinitive construction that conveys Jesus’s forceful direction.
In context — Matthew 14:22
And immediately He compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, until He dismissed the crowds .
