Mark 6:50 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:50

For they all saw him, and were troubled
Had it been only seen by one, it might have been thought a fancy, and the effect of mere imagination; but as every one saw it, it was out of all doubt that so it was, and which gave them the greater concern:

and immediately he talked with them;
as soon as they saw him, "that very moment", as the Syriac renders it; that so by hearing his voice their fears might be allayed:

and saith unto them, be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid;
(See Gill on Matthew 14:27).

Mark 6:50 In-Context

48 Jesus saw that they were in a lot of trouble as they rowed, because they were going against the wind. Between three and six o'clock in the morning, he came to them. He was walking on the sea. He wanted to pass by them.
49 When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought, "It's a ghost!" and they began to scream.
50 All of them saw him and were terrified. Immediately, he said, "Calm down! It's me. Don't be afraid!"
51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were astounded.
52 (They didn't understand what had happened with the loaves of bread. Instead, their minds were closed.)
