Mark 6:47-56

47 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[a] 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.
