Context of Mark 6:51

49When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out, 50because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke with them and said, “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. They were completely astounded, 52because they had not understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened. 53When they had crossed over, they came to shore at Gennesaret and anchored there.
