Mark 6:54
As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
BSB
ASV
And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him,
KJV
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
(ubi sup.) But they knew Him by report, not by His features; or through the greatness of His miracles, even His person was known to some. See too how great was the faith of the men of the land of Gennesaret, so that they were not content with the healing of those who were present, but sent to other towns round about, that all might hasten to the Physician; wherefore there follows, And ran through the whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
They knew him - Επιγνοντες, They recollected him; for he had before preached and wrought miracles in different places of the same country.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)
The event first recorded in these verses, is a beautiful emblem of the position of all believers, between the first and second advents of Jesus Christ. Like the disciples, we are now tossed to and fro by storms, and do not enjoy the visible presence of our Lord. Like the disciples, we shall see our Lord face to face again, though it may be a time of great extremity, when He returns. Like the disciples, we shall see all things changed for the better, when our Master comes to us. We shall no longer be buffeted by storms.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Philippians 3:10I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
leads to
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved…
This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Psalms 9:10Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
leads to
“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.
