Hello you, and here is something interesting that has been made known to me after being taught, also by simply paying attention to what is going on in this scene and picture that is being present to you.
Mark Chapter 6
Later on that night, the disciples were rowing across the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone one land. From that distance Jesus seen the disciples having trouble and straining to make it across the lake as the wind pushed against them. It was dark, and pretty soon day break would come. Jesus went out to the disciples walking on the lake, almost passing them. The disciples seen the (light) that came from Jesus Christ, and thought ah! It is a ghost! They were terrified, and cried out.
This is a picture of mans effort. Trying to push against the world (in this case the lake waters, and the wind) pushing them back, making no progression. The Lord seen the disciples and what effort the men has been placing to get across the lake. Then walked up upon them surprising them, it was in the dark, and it was pitch black out there until Jesus Christ showed up.
This is a picture of what happens when we place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can take courage and not be afraid, and the winds and the waters of life on earth calm down by setting our sights on heavenly things instead as this world is just but a temporary place we will live on, and God desires for us to have peace in our lives, though troubles and trails do come. You are to look and place your eyes upon the Lord Jesus Christ which is a choice made daily, to have rest and comfort for your soul.
Similar to the woman who suffered a 12 year blood problem who touched the robe of Jesus Christ and was restored and filled.
(The Loaves parable is also a picture of how we are spiritually filled by the Lord Jesus Christ because he is the bread of life.)
If there is anything else you would like to add please feel free to do so!
God bless and take care.
Mark Chapter 6
45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
Jesus had just finished after feeding the 5,000 people who had been traveling around with Him and his disciples and is now telling the disciples. Go ahead and head onward across the lake in the boat and cross over to Bethsaida. Jesus was going to stay and dismiss the crowd, after saying good bye and leaving. Jesus went up on a mountainside to pray.
47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.

Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
After Jesus Christ was close enough to them, He spoke, take courage! It is Me, do not be afraid. Then He climbed into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, and they still did not understand about the loaves; for their hearts were still not understanding and were hardened.This is a picture of what happens when we place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can take courage and not be afraid, and the winds and the waters of life on earth calm down by setting our sights on heavenly things instead as this world is just but a temporary place we will live on, and God desires for us to have peace in our lives, though troubles and trails do come.

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
After this all happened, they went on and landed in the land of Gennesaret where the Lord Jesus Christ had been heard of, and people had took the sick, and weak to him, and they desired to be healed even by just the touching of the edge of his cloak.Similar to the woman who suffered a 12 year blood problem who touched the robe of Jesus Christ and was restored and filled.
