Mark 6:45-52
1599 Geneva Bible
45 ¶ [a]And straightway he caused his disciples to go into the ship, and to go before unto the other side unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46 Then as soon as he had sent [b]them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
47 (A)And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 And he saw them troubled in rowing, (for the wind was contrary unto them) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49 And when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out.
50 For they all saw him, and were sore afraid: but anon he talked with them, and said unto them, Be ye of good comfort: it is I, be not afraid.
51 Then he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were [c]much more amazed in themselves, and marveled.
52 For they had not [d]considered the matter of the loaves, because their hearts were hardened.

- Mark 6:46 His disciples.
- Mark 6:51 They were so far from leaving to be amazed, when they knew that it was no spirit, that they were much more astonished than ever they were before, when they saw the wind and the seas obey his commandment.
- Mark 6:52 Either they perceived not, or had not well considered that miracle of the five loaves, insomuch that that virtue of Christ was no less strange to them, than if they had not been present at that miracle which was done but a little before.
