Context of Mark 6:51

49But they saw that he was walking on the water. They thought, ‘It is a spirit.’ And they screamed out. 50They all saw him and they were very afraid. But immediately, Jesus said to them, ‘Be brave. It is I. Do not be afraid.’ Then Jesus got into the boat to be with them. The strong wind stopped. The disciples were completely surprised about what had happened. 52They did not understand what Jesus had done with the loaves of bread. They were not ready to learn. 53They sailed across the lake. They reached the shore at Gennesaret and they tied the boat there.

Mark 6:52 They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.
