46 - After Jesus saw the people off, he went further inland, into the mountain in order to be alone to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea [of Galilee] but he was still on land. 48 He saw they were struggling, for the wind was against them. {Like life! Imperfection/entropy a slow gehenna that flares up into fiery judgments from time to time.. happens to all, leading up to the true judgment which ultimately and eventually will occur in every heart, as Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, because “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. And “in the fullness of time” after the the week plus one, after the “8th day”/millennium, “when the Son has subdued all and hands all over to the Father at the “end-aim” then “all of heaven/angelos and all of earth/anthropos will be gathered into Jesus” that “God be all in all” via the simultaneous 2nd vivification at the fieRy “palin/again-genesis”, separated five hundred years (Lev.23) from its partner, the 2nd resurrection. Ephesians 1:10, 1Cor.15:(22)27-28-word all five times is pas-all.}

     And then at about the fourth watch of the night he went out to them walking on the water. He meant to pass by, 49 but they saw him and thought it was a ghost, and cried out! 50 For they saw him walking by on the water and were terrified. But he said, “Take heart! It is I! Don’t be afraid!” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped, and they were utterly amazed. 52 For they didn’t understand [suniémi - put together, consider, understand, perceive] about the loaves, for their hearts were hardened [póroó - petrified, hardened, from pōros, a kind of marble) – properly, made of stone; figuratively, insensible, dull, unperceptive, unresponsive]. {Unresponsive.. perhaps struggles of life make us more responsive.. and he gets in, or that is we realize he’s in the boat with us. This in response to the extreme thought that when he calls we should be like - zero. Zero response. I understand we DO NOT earn Life/salvation. That’s the other extreme. But a stone as a bride? I can’t think that’s the way either.}

     53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored at shore. 54 When they got out of the boat, the people immediately knew it was Jesus, 55 and they ran about the whole region and began to bring sick ones on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in the villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
