Context of Mark 6:46
44And they that ate of the loaves were about five thousand men. 45And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. And when he had dismissed them, he departed to a mountain to pray. 47And when evening was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 45-56Verses 45-56 The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and not comforted: we may have Christ for us, yet wind and tide against us; but it is a comfort to Christ's disciples in a storm, that their Master is in the heavenly mount, interceding for them.
