Context of Mark 6:51

49When they saw him walking on the water they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them: “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” Then he went up with them into the boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely astonished, 52because they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. 53After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.
