Mark 6:40-50 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
40
So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred.
41
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people.
42
They all ate as much as they wanted,
43
and they picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish.
44
Five thousand men had eaten from those five loaves!
45
Immediately after this, Jesus made his disciples get back into the boat and head out across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home.
46
Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray.
47
During the night, the disciples were in their boat out in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land.
48
He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o'clock in the morning a he came to them, walking on the water. He started to go past them,
49
but when they saw him walking on the water, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost.
50
They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. "It's all right," he said. "I am here! Don't be afraid."
