Mark 6:48-56

48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about ¹the fourth watch of the night^[a] he came to them, walking on the sea. ²He 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 ³were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, ⁴“Take heart; it is I. ⁵Do not be afraid. ”

51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

52 for ⁶they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts ⁷were hardened.

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

53 ⁸When they had crossed over, they came to land at ⁹Gennesaret and moored to the shore.

54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately ¹⁰recognized him

55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring ¹¹the sick people ¹²on their beds to wherever they heard he was.

56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, ¹³they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even ¹⁴the fringe of his garment. And ¹⁵as many as touched it were made well.
