Mark 6:52

52 non enim intellexerant de panibus erat enim cor illorum obcaecatum

Mark 6:52 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:52

For they considered not the miracle of the loaves
Which they had seen but the day before; they did not attend to it, nor learn from it, as they might, the wonderful glory of Christ, and the greatness of his power; which was as much an act of omnipotence, as either his walking upon the water, or causing the wind to cease, or more so.

For their heart was hardened;
or "blinded"; not by sin, or against Christ, much less in a judicial way: but there was a great deal of dulness and stupidity, and want of attention in them. The glory of Christ, which he manifested, and showed forth in his miracles, was not so clearly and fully discerned, attended to, and acknowledged by them, at it might reasonably be thought it would; for notwithstanding these miracles, which they daily saw, they stood in need of divine illuminations, that the darkness of their minds being removed, they might behold the glory of Christ, as the glory of the only begotten of the Father.

Mark 6:52 In-Context

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

52 non enim intellexerant de panibus erat enim cor illorum obcaecatum

53 et cum transfretassent pervenerunt in terram Gennesareth et adplicuerunt

54 cumque egressi essent de navi continuo cognoverunt eum
