The act of climbing into the boat signifies His authority over creation and His role as a protector. In the context of the Gospel of Mark, this event follows the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, showcasing Jesus' divine power. The boat, often a symbol of the Church, represents the community of believers. Jesus' presence in the boat can be seen as a metaphor for His presence in the Church, providing guidance and peace.and the wind died down This demonstrates Jesus' command over nature, reinforcing His divine authority. The calming of the wind is reminiscent of the earlier event in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, where Jesus rebukes the storm, further establishing His power over the natural world. This act fulfills Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's dominion over creation, such as in <a href="/psalms/107-29.htm">Psalm 107:29</a>, which speaks of God calming the storm. The immediate cessation of the wind upon Jesus' entry into the boat underscores His identity as the Son of God, who brings peace and order.And the disciples were utterly astounded The disciples' reaction reflects their ongoing struggle to fully comprehend Jesus' divine nature. Despite witnessing numerous miracles, they are still amazed, indicating their growing but incomplete understanding of who Jesus is. This astonishment is a recurring theme in the Gospels, highlighting the disciples' human limitations and the gradual revelation of Jesus' identity. Their amazement also serves as a reminder of the mystery and majesty of Christ, encouraging believers to continually seek a deeper understanding of His nature and works. This moment foreshadows the eventual clarity they will receive after the resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, demonstrating His divine authority over nature by calming the wind. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> Followers of Jesus who are in the boat, experiencing fear and amazement at Jesus' power. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_boat.htm">The Boat</a> The setting where the disciples are struggling against the wind before Jesus calms it. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_wind.htm">The Wind</a> Represents the natural elements that are beyond human control but are subject to Jesus' command. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_sea_of_galilee.htm">The Sea of Galilee</a> The body of water where this event takes place, known for sudden and violent storms.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/d/divine_authority.htm">Divine Authority</a> Jesus' ability to calm the wind demonstrates His divine authority over creation, affirming His identity as the Son of God. <a href="/topical/f/faith_in_the_storm.htm">Faith in the Storm</a> The disciples' fear and amazement remind us to trust in Jesus during life's storms, knowing He is in control. <a href="/topical/p/presence_of_christ.htm">Presence of Christ</a> Jesus' presence brings peace and calm, encouraging us to seek His presence in our daily lives. <a href="/topical/h/human_limitation_and_divine_power.htm">Human Limitation and Divine Power</a> Recognize our limitations and rely on God's power, as the disciples did when they were unable to control the boat. <a href="/topical/a/astonishment_and_worship.htm">Astonishment and Worship</a> The disciples' reaction of being "utterly astounded" should lead us to worship and deeper faith in Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_mark_6.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Mark 6</a> <a href="/q/why_did_jesus_walk_on_water.htm">Why did Jesus perform the miracle of walking on water?</a> <a href="/q/who_were_the_12_tribes_of_israel.htm">Why did Peter walk on water?</a> <a href="/q/how_does_jesus_walk_on_water_scientifically.htm">In Mark 6:48-51, how can Jesus walking on water be reconciled with known scientific laws?</a> <a href="/q/what's_the_sea_of_galilee_story's_meaning.htm">What is the significance of the Sea of Galilee story?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 51, 52. - The amazement of the disciples was very great. Nor was the impression confined to them alone. St. Matthew (<a href="/matthew/14-33.htm">Matthew 14:33</a>) tells us that they who were in the boat came and worshipped him. They felt, at least for the 'moment, that they were brought into awful nearness to One whose "way is in the sea," and whose "path is in the great waters," and whose "footsteps are not known." They needed not, however, to have been so amazed, for they had just witnessed his power in the miracle of the loaves; but they understood not (ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρτοις) concerning the loaves, but their heart was (πεπωρωμένη) hardened; literally, stupefied and blinded. <a href="/commentaries/mark/6-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
