Marcos 6:47

Listen to Marcos 6:47
47 Y como fué la tarde, el barco estaba en medio de la mar, y él solo en tierra.

Marcos 6:47 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:47

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.
