The apostles get in the boat with Jesus..
Luke 8:22 ...Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.
Luke 8:22 ...Let us go over to the other side of the lake
We should go through, into the one beyond of the lake.
Who know what strangs worlds are on the other side?
The "let us" is wrong here. The verb is in the form of a possibility. It is in the first-person, plural, "we," not addressed to those with him. So, "we should go.." The verb that begins this sentence translated as "pass over/go over" is only used by Jesus four times, twice to refer to unclean spirits and once to a camel going through a needle's eye. It means to "go through." The form is something the "should" or "might" happen.
The ending is the punchline, Jesus says, literally "We should go through, into the beyond of the lake." The "other side" is an adverb meaning "beyond," and "further," but it was used, originally poetically, to refer to crossing a body of water. That poetic meaning of "the other side" when referring to water was carried over to its common usage. The "other side" is also a metaphor for the afterlife.
The "of the lake" kind of dampens the effect but the "lake" is a bit of comedy too, calling the water a marshy or stagnant pool.
