Mark 6:45-50

English Standard Version

Jesus Walks on the Water

^45 (A)Immediately he ^(B)made his disciples get into ^(C)the boat and go before him to the other side, ^(D)to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. ⁴⁶ And after he had taken leave of them, ^(E)he went up on the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when ^(F)evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about ^(G)the fourth watch of the night^[a] he came to them, walking on the sea. ^(H)He meant to pass by them, ⁴⁹ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, ⁵⁰ for they all saw him and ^(I)were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, ^(J)“Take heart; it is I. ^(K)Do not be afraid.”
