This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For they understood not (ou gar sunēkan). Explanation of their excessive amazement, viz., their failure to grasp the full significance of the miracle of the loaves and fishes, a nature miracle. Here was another, Jesus walking on the water. Their reasoning process (kardia in the general sense for all the inner man) was hardened (ēn pepōrōmenē). See note on Mar 3:5 about pōrōsis. Today some men have such intellectual hardness or denseness that they cannot believe that God can or would work miracles, least of all nature miracles.
