Mark 6:45-56

45

ImmediatelyG2112 Jesus madeG315 HisG846 disciplesG3101 getG1684 intoG1519 theG3588 boatG4143 andG2532 go on ahead ofG4254G1519G3588G4008 Him toG4314 BethsaidaG966, whileG2193 HeG846 dismissedG630 theG3588 crowdG3793. 46After bidding them farewellG657G846, He wentG565 up onG1519 theG3588 mountainG3735 to prayG4336.

47WhenG2532 eveningG3798 cameG1096, theG3588 boatG4143 wasG1510 inG1722 the middleG3319 of theG3588 seaG2281, andG2532 Jesus was aloneG3441 onG1909 landG1093. 48He could see thatG3708 the disciples were strainingG928 to rowG1722G3588G1643, becauseG1063 theG3588 windG417 wasG1510 againstG1727 themG846. AboutG4012 the fourthG5067 watchG5438 of theG3588 nightG3571,1 Jesus went outG2064 toG4314 themG846, walkingG4043 onG1909 theG3588 seaG2281. He intendedG2309 to pass byG3928 themG846, 49butG1161 when they sawG3708 HimG846 walkingG4043 onG1909 theG3588 seaG2281, they cried outG349, thinkingG1380 He wasG1510 a ghostG5326— 50forG1063 they allG3956 saw HimG3708 andG2532 were terrifiedG5015.

ButG1161 Jesus spoke upG2980 at onceG2112: “Take courageG2293! It isG1510 IG1473. Do notG3361 be afraidG5399.” 51ThenG2532 He climbedG305 intoG1519 theG3588 boatG4143 withG4314 themG846, andG2532 theG3588 windG417 died downG2869. AndG2532 the disciples were utterlyG3029G1537G4053 astoundedG1839, 52forG1063 they had not understoodG3756G4920 aboutG1909 theG3588 loavesG740, butG235 theirG846 heartsG2588 had beenG1510 hardenedG4456.

53WhenG2532 they had crossed overG1276, they landedG2064G1909G3588G1093 atG1519 GennesaretG1082 andG2532 mooredG4358 the boat. 54As soon asG2112 theyG846 gotG1831 out ofG1537 theG3588 boatG4143, the people recognizedG1921 Jesus 55and ran throughG4063 thatG1565 wholeG3650 regionG5561, carryingG756G4064 theG3588 sickG2560G2192 onG1909 matsG2895 to whereverG3699 they heardG191 He wasG1510. 56AndG2532 whereverG3699G302 He wentG1531G1519—villagesG2968 and townsG4172 and countrysidesG68—they laidG5087 theG3588 sickG770 inG1722 theG3588 marketplacesG58 andG2532 beggedG3870 HimG846 justG2579 to let them touchG680 theG3588 fringeG2899 of HisG846 cloakG2440. AndG2532 allG3745 whoG302 touchedG680 HimG846 were healedG4982.
