What Does Mark 6:46 Mean?
With the crowd dispersed and the disciples at sea, Jesus climbs alone into the hills to pray. The day has held rejection at Nazareth, news of the death of John, a press of thousands, and a miracle; he ends it with his Father.
The Son of God treated prayer as necessity, not ornament. After great works and before great trials, he withdrew to the mountain, and his followers learn the rhythm from him: serve, then pray; give out, then draw near. The one who fed multitudes sought his own bread in communion with the Father.
