Late at night, the boat was far out at sea; Jesus was still by himself on land. He could see his men struggling with the oars, the wind having come up against them.

But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and screamed, scared out of their wits.

Contextual Overview

⁴⁵ And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, - while, he, was dismissing the multitude. ⁴⁶ And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land. ⁴⁸ And, seeing them distressed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, - and was wishing to pass by them. ⁴⁹ But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud; ⁵⁰ for, all, saw him, and were troubled. But, he, straightway, talked with them, and saith unto them - Take courage! it is, I - be not afraid! ⁵¹ And he went up unto them, into the boat, - and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished; ⁵² for they understood not by the loaves, - but their, heart, had been, hardened. ⁵³ And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near. ⁵⁴ And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when even was come,.... The second evening, and it was properly night:

the ship was in the midst of the sea; of Galilee, about twenty five or thirty furlongs from the shore; see John 6:19;

and he alone on the land; upon the mountain. This is observed, partly to show what distress the disciples were in, in the midst of the sea, having a hard gale of wind, and their master not with them; and partly to show that there was no way, humanly speaking, of Christ's getting to the ship, in order to go over; and is an illustration of the following miracle, of walking so many furlongs, as he must, upon the water, in a stormy, blustering night, to get to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-36.

Mark 6:52

They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.

Their heart was hardened - Their “mind” was dull to perceive it. This does not mean that they were “opposed” to Jesus, or that they had what we denominate “hardness of heart,” but simply that they were slow to perceive his power. They did not quickly learn, as they ought to have done, that he had all power, and could therefore allay the storm. The word “heart” is frequently used in this sense. See Ephesians 1:18, in Greek; Romans 1:21; Romans 2:15; 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Mark 6:54

They knew him - They “recollected” Jesus, because he had been there before and worked miracles.

Mark 6:56

The border of his garment - Compare the notes at Matthew 9:20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
