Mark 6:45–56

Jesus Walks on Water

Matt. 14:22–23; John 6:15–21

^45qImmediately He ⁹made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. ⁴⁶And when He had sent them away, He ^rdeparted to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. ⁴⁸Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and ^swould have passed them by. ⁴⁹And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ^tghost, and cried out; ⁵⁰for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, ^u “Be ¹of good cheer! It is I; do not be ^vafraid.” ⁵¹Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ^wceased. And they were greatly ^xamazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. ⁵²For ^ythey had not understood about the loaves, because their ^zheart was hardened.

Jesus Heals at Gennesaret

Matt. 14:34–36

^53aWhen they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. ⁵⁴And when they came out of the boat, immediately ²the people recognized Him, ⁵⁵ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was. ⁵⁶Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that ^bthey might just touch the ^chem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.
