Mark 6:45–56

⁴⁵And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away, ⁴⁶and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land; ⁴⁸and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them. ⁴⁹And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out, ⁵⁰for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, ‘Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.’ ⁵¹And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering, ⁵²for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard. ⁵³And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore, ⁵⁴and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him, ⁵⁵having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is, ⁵⁶and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
