⁴⁵Right away Jesus made his disciples get into the boat. He had them go on ahead of him to Bethsaida. Then he sent the crowd away. ⁴⁶After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

⁴⁷When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was alone on land. ⁴⁸He saw the disciples pulling hard on the oars. The wind was blowing against them.

Early in the morning, he went out to them. He walked on the lake. When he was about to pass by them, ⁴⁹they saw him walking on the lake. They thought he was a ghost. They cried out. ⁵⁰They all saw him and were terrified.

Right away he said to them, “Be brave! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

⁵¹Then he climbed into the boat with them. The wind died down. And they were completely amazed. ⁵²They had not understood about the loaves. They were stubborn.

⁵³They crossed over the lake and landed at Gennesaret. There they tied up the boat. ⁵⁴As soon as Jesus and his disciples got out, people recognized him. ⁵⁵They ran through that whole area to bring to him those who were sick. They carried them on mats to where they heard he was.

⁵⁶He went into the villages, the towns and the countryside. Everywhere he went, the people brought the sick to the market places. Those who were sick begged him to let them touch just the edge of his clothes. And all who touched him were healed.
