And when
1evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48
And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about
2the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
3He meant to pass by them,
49
but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out,
50
for they all saw him and
4were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said,
5"Take heart; it is I. 6Do not be afraid."
51
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,
52
for
7they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts
8were hardened.
Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
53 9When they had crossed over, they came to land at
10Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54
And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately
11recognized him
55
and ran about the whole region and began to bring
12the sick people
13on their beds to wherever they heard he was.
56
And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside,
14they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even
15the fringe of his garment. And
16as many as touched it were made well.
