10      (To have Direction) Avoid hard heartedness

6:47-52

Midst of sea

hard hearts - not understand

 

6:47 And evening coming on was the ship in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48 And seeing them being distressed in the to row, was for the wind contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes toward them walking on the sea; and wished to go by them. 49 But they seeing him on the sea walking though that a phantasm it was and cried out; 50 For all him saw and were troubled. But he immediately talked with them, and says to them: Be of good cheer, I am: be ye not afraid. 51 And he went up to them into the ship, and ceased the wind; and very much exceedingly in themselves they were astonished; 52 for they did not understand concerning the loaves, but was of them the heart having been hardened.
