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 And he saw them being beaten in their rowing because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them.

49 But [when] they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out.

50 For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, "Have courage, I am [he]! Do not be afraid!"

51 And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And {they were extraordinarily} astounded within themselves,

52 because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
