Mark 6:50-56

50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, "¹Take courage; it is I, ²do not be afraid."

51 Then He got into ³the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly * * astonished,

52 for ⁴they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart ⁵was hardened.

Healing at Gennesaret

53 ⁶When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

54 When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,

55 and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.

56 Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just ⁷touch ⁸the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.
