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 travailing in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth waking of the night, he wandering on the sea, came to them, and would pass them.

49 And as they saw him wandering on the sea, they guessed that it were a phantom, and cried out;

50 for all saw him, and they were afraid [for all saw him, and were troubled]. And at once [And anon] he spake with them, and said to them, Trust ye, I am; do not ye dread.

51 And he came up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they wondered more within themselves [And they more wondered within themselves];

52 for they understood not of the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
