Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:45-56

45-56 The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and not comforted: we may have Christ for us, yet wind and tide against us; but it is a comfort to Christ's disciples in a storm, that their Master is in the heavenly mount, interceding for them. And no difficulties can hinder Christ's appearance for his people, when the set time is come. He silenced their fears, by making himself known to them. Our fears are soon satisfied, if our mistakes are set right, especially our... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 6:1-99

Mark 6 AFTER THESE THINGS, leaving the lakeside He went into the district where His early life had been spent. Teaching in the synagogue, His words astonished them. They quite dearly recognized the wisdom of His teachings and the might of His acts, and yet all this wrought no conviction or faith in their hearts. They knew Him, and those related to Him according to the flesh, and this but blinded their eyes as to who He really was. They were not insulting in their expression of unbelief, as... read more

Jesus walking on the sea: v. 47. And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land. v. 48. And He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them. And about the fourth watch of the night He cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. v. 49. But when they saw Him walking upon the sea; they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out; v. 50. for they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 6:30-56

the Sympathy and Compassion of Jesus Mark 6:30-56 When the Apostles returned they had much to tell. Some were flushed with success, others radiant with victory over demons, others, perhaps, overstrained and weary, and all needing the quiet, holy influence of repose and silence in the Lord’s company. And in those quiet hours or days, as the fever passed out of them, He taught them memorable lessons of how He would feed the world by His Church, and how His people would be safe amid the storms... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:1-56

"He could there do no mighty work." Not that He in Himself was unable, for His hands laid on a few sick folk brought healing, but that the condition of wilful and persistent unbelief limited the power of the people to receive. This is the first sending forth of the twelve. There are three definite points of equipment, and they cover the whole area of necessity, from minute detail to the utmost limit of their work. 1. They were "to go shod with sandals." 2. They were to go two by two. 3.... read more

SECTION 3. Jesus’ Ministry Throughout Galilee and In The Surrounding Regions (4:35-9:32). After the initial opening up of the story of Jesus with its continual emphasis on His unique authority, Who He was and what He had come to do (Mark 4:1-3), and the series of parables which have indicated how the Kingly Rule of God was to expand (Mark 4:1-34), Mark now indicates how this expansion continued to occur through the ministry of Jesus in Galilee and the surrounding regions. At the same time he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:6-56

The Wider Ministry begins - the Apostles Are Sent Out - Opposition Continues (6:6a-56). Having established that Jesus is Lord of the elements, Lord over evil spirits and Lord over life and death, Mark now deals with the widening of His ministry, although again this does not take place without disappointments and opposition as before. Jesus sends His disciples out to preach with great success, although ever in the background is the shadow of Herod Antipas who was responsible for the death of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:45-53

Jesus Comes to His Disciples in Their Need, Walking on the Water (6:45-53). As ever in salvation history the blessing is to be followed by trial. Having been fed by God they must now learn that times can also be hard, and that He is trustworthy in the hard times also. In the future they would have to feed the people, but they would be feeding a people who would as well have to endure the problems of life. Christians are not sheltered from those. After their mountain top experiences they have... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:50-51

‘But he immediately spoke with them and says, “Be of good cheer. It is I. Do not be afraid.” And he went up to them in the boat and the wind ceased.’ Jesus immediately assured them that all was well. They had failed the test but they would learn from it in the future. It was at this time that Peter made his attempt also to walk on the water (Matthew 14:28-31). Then having assured them that it was really He, He approached the boat and clambered in. And to their surprise the wind immediately... read more
