VERSE (48) - Isa 54:11 Joh 1:13 Mt 14:24

SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:48

Y los vio fatigados remando, porque el viento les era contrario; y cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche, vino a ellos andando sobre el mar, y quería precederlos.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 48. And he saw them toiling in rowing , etc..] He saw them either with his bodily eyes from the mountain on which he was; or he perceived in his Spirit, he knew, by virtue of his omniscience as God, what distress his disciples were in; being tossed about with the waves of the sea, and were labouring with all their might and main against the wind: and were vexed and tortured, as the word signifies; they were in the utmost pain and uneasiness of mind, as well as fatigue of body, assisting the men in rowing; for the ship they were in was no other than a vessel managed by oars; and hard work it was to keep it from being overset: for the wind was contrary unto them ; it blew from the other side they were making to, full in their face, hard against them; so that it was with great toil and difficulty, that they got any thing forward: and about the fourth watch of the night ; or three o'clock in the morning: so that it is very likely, that as the evening when they took to the vessel was sun setting, or about six o'clock, they had been nine hours at sea, and had got but twenty five or thirty furlongs from shore; (see Gill on Matthew 14:25); he cometh unto them walking upon the sea : being in this distress, Christ came down from the mountain to the sea side; and then, by his divine power, as the mighty God, that treadeth on the waves of the sea, he walked upon the surface of the waters of it; as on dry land, as the Persic version adds: and would have passed by them ; that is, he made as though he would; (see Luke 24:28). By the course he steered, by the swiftness of his motion, and his seeming negligence of them, it looked as though he intended to have gone by them, and said nothing to them, though this was far from his real design.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 45-56 - The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and no 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 ar soon satisfied, if our mistakes are set right, especially our mistake as to Christ. Let the disciples have their Master with them, and all is well. It is for want of rightly understanding Christ's former works that we view his present works as if there never were the like before If Christ's ministers now could cure people's bodily diseases, what multitudes would flock after them! It is sad to think how much mor most care about their bodies than about their souls __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

48. He saw (idwn). Participle. Rev., seeing. Better, however, the literal having seen. It was this which induced him to go to them.

Toiling (basanizomenouv). Lit., tormented. Rev., distressed. See on Matt. iv. 24. Wyc., travailing. Tynd., troubled.

Fourth watch. Between 3 and 6 A.M.

Would have passed by them. Peculiar to Mark.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

6:48 {Seeing them distressed in rowing} (idwn autous basanizomenous en twi elaunein). See also #Mt 8:29 for the word basanizw, to torture, torment (#Mt 4:24) with a touch-stone, qen to distress as here. Papyri have dia basanwn used on slaves like our third degree for criminals. elaunein is literally to drive as of ships or chariots. They drove the boat with oars. Common in Xenophon for marching. {About the fourth watch of the night} (peri tetarten fulaken tes nuktos). That is, between three and six A.M. The wind was {contrary to them} (enantios autois), that is in their faces and rowing was difficult, "a great wind" (#Joh 6:18), and as a result the disciples had made little progress. They should have been over long before this . {And he would have passed by them} (kai eqelen parelqein autous). Only in Mark. He wished to pass by them, _praeterire eos_ (Vulgate). Imperfect tense eqelen. {They thought} (edoxan). A natural conclusion. {And cried out} (anekraxan). {Cried up}, literally, a shriek of terror, or scream.
