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.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 6:54-56

These verses summarize Jesus’ ministry in many towns on many days before His next withdrawal to Phoenicia. Mark stressed the immense popularity of Jesus and His generous healing of multitudes of sick people. "Cured" (Mark 6:56) is literally "saved" (Gr. sozo). The sick experienced deliverance from their infirmities and restoration to physical soundness. That is the salvation in view. read more
