馬可福音 6:46 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:46

And when he had sent them away ( ἀποταξάμενος )—more literally, had taken leave of them, that is, the multitude—he departed into a mountain ( εἰς τὸ ὄρος ) ; literally, into the mountain; that is, the high table-land at the foot of which the multitude had been fed. Towards the north-east of the Sea of Galilee the land rises rapidly from the shore. To pray ( προσεύξασθαι ).This is a very full word, implying the outpouring of the heart to God. Our Lord did this that he might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:46-47

St. Mark is careful, like St. Matthew, to tell us that when the even was come he was alone on the land. Both the evangelists desire to call attention to the fact that, when night came on, the disciples were alone in their boat and Jesus alone on the land. It was nightfall; and St. John informs us that "the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew." Then it was that the Lord left his place of prayer on the mountain, and walked upon the sea, that he might succor his disciples now... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:45-56

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-36.Mark 6:52They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.Their heart was hardened - Their “mind” was dull to perceive it. This does not mean that they were “opposed” to Jesus, or that they had what we denominate “hardness of heart,” but simply that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 6:45-56

66. Jesus walks on the sea (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21)On seeing Jesus’ miracle with the bread and fish, many wanted to make him king immediately. This no doubt would have pleased many of Jesus’ followers, but for him it presented a possible temptation. He therefore sent his disciples to Bethsaida, while he escaped into the hills where he could be alone and pray (Matthew 14:22-23; Mark 6:45-46; John 6:15).Bethsaida was not far from the place where Jesus had fed the five... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 6:46

And when he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.To the mountain to pray ... A bold headland overlooks the grassy slope where these events occurred; and, as soon as the Lord had sent the Twelve to the other side and dispersed the multitude he had recourse at once to prayer. It was indeed an hour of crisis; never was the ministry of Jesus any more threatened than at that hour. It is from this that the surpassing importance of this miracle derives. John made it one of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:46

46. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray—thus at length getting that privacy and rest which He had vainly sought during the earlier part of the day; opportunity also to pour out His soul in connection with the extraordinary excitement in His favor that evening—which appears to have marked the zenith of His reputation, for it began to decline the very next day; and a place whence He might watch the disciples on the lake, pray for them in their extremity, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 6:45-52

The walking on the water 6:45-52 (cf. Matthew 14:22-33; John 6:14-21)This miracle followed the feeding of the 5,000 by just a few hours. Both miracles were important parts of Jesus’ discipleship training program for the Twelve. Earlier Jesus had calmed the sea with a word (Mark 4:35-41). Here He used His whole body to walk on top of the sea. read more
