Mark 6:45-56

451Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into 2the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to 3Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. 46After 4bidding them farewell, He left 5for the mountain to pray.

47When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48Seeing them 6straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the 78fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. 49But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50for they all saw Him and were 9terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “10Take courage; it is I, 11do not be afraid.” 51Then He got into 12the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, 52for 13they 14had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but 15their heart 16was hardened.

5317When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. 54When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, 55and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to 18the place they heard He was. 56Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just 19touch 20the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.
