I have not been able to come up with any other reason for Jesus walking past the disciples than the one you stated. Jesus constantly called for those with eyes “to see”. So, He probably wanted the disciples to really SEE him & who He is.

Hmmm, I think He was exposing their lack of sight about who He was, even after all they had experienced with Him. After all they had “seen” they didn’t didn’t know who He was – not really. (And it’s cool to note that He didn’t ignore their cries, even though they did not cry out for Him.) I wonder if He is still asking, “Who do you say I am?” I think we are still learning.
What do you think?

Ellen:
In the passage from Mark, why do you suppose Jesus intended to walk past the disciples in the boat? I have read that passage many times, but never picked up on that verse. I was blind to it, I guess.
