Mark 6:49 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:49

But when they saw him walking on the sea
(See Gill on Matthew 14:26);

they supposed it had been a spirit;
a phantom, a spectre, an apparition, a nocturnal demon:

and cried out;
as men affrighted at the sight, and fearing they should be hurt by it, or that it portended some evil to them; (See Gill on Matthew 14:26).

Mark 6:49 In-Context

47 et cum sero esset erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra

48 et videns eos laborantes in remigando erat enim ventus contrarius eis et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans super mare et volebat praeterire eos

49 at illi ut viderunt eum ambulantem super mare putaverunt fantasma esse et exclamaverunt

50 omnes enim eum viderunt et conturbati sunt et statim locutus est cum eis et dixit illis confidite ego sum nolite timere

51 et ascendit ad illos in navem et cessavit ventus et plus magis intra se stupebant
