What Does Mark 6:51 Mean?
Jesus climbs into the boat, and the wind simply stops, as if it had only been waiting for him to board. The disciples are amazed beyond measure, Mark piling up words to describe men staggered past speech.
The storm did not need to be argued down; it needed his presence. So do most storms. The amazement of the disciples is real worship in raw form, yet the next verse will hint that it also exposes how little they had understood the loaves. Wonder is right; wonder that ripens into trust is better.
