This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The distress of the disciples:
v. 24. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves; for the wind was contrary.
While Jesus remained behind on the shore to pray, the boat had gradually traversed a part of the way toward Capernaum, which they should have reached in a few hours at the most. But the wind was directly against them, and its strength was such as to agitate the water violently, making successful navigation extremely difficult. And all this Jesus knew and saw from the mountain. The eye of His omniscience penetrated the darkness of the night and watched over their frail craft, Mar_6:48.
