NASB | Mark 6:52 for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 6:52 because they had not understood [the miracle of] the loaves [how it revealed the power and deity of Jesus]; but [in fact] their heart was hardened [being oblivious and indifferent to His amazing works]. |
Bible Question:
Why did Mark specifically make this remark "for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves...". How significant was the miracle of the incident of the loaves in assocation with their situation on the sea when they saw Jesus walking on it and later on the sea calmed after He was onboard. Similar situation happened before (Mark 4:35-41). Why did Mark not associate this incident (Mark 6:45-52) with Mark 4:35-41, but recalled the feeding of 5000 instead. P.S. I understand the disciples were hard hearted. My point is just not understanding why Mark (John) made such association with the incidents. Thanks for your help. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Azure, My guess would be because the feeding of 5000 had happened the day before. While He would hope they would build on their faith, they couldn't remember something less than 12 hours before. Even after He arose from the dead, He rebuked them for their lack of faith (Mark 16:14). Searcher |
