Jesus Walks on the Sea

^45 (A)And immediately Jesus made His disciples get into ^(B)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to ^(C)Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. ⁴⁶ And after ^(D)bidding them farewell, He left ^(E)for the mountain to pray.

⁴⁷ And when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And seeing them ^[a]straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the ^[b](F)fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He was intending to pass by them. ⁴⁹ But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and cried out; ⁵⁰ for they all saw Him and were ^[c]terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “^(G)Take courage; it is I, ^(H)do not be afraid.” ⁵¹ Then He got into ^(I)the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were ^[d]utterly amazed, ⁵² for ^(J)they ^[e]had not gained any insight about the loaves, but their ^[f]heart ^(K)was hardened.

Many Healed at Gennesaret

^53 (L)And when they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. ⁵⁴ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, ⁵⁵ and ran about that whole region and began to carry here and there on their mats those who were sick, to ^[g]the place they heard He was. ⁵⁶ And wherever He was entering villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces, and pleading with Him that they might just ^(M)touch ^(N)the fringe of His garment; and as many as touched it were being ^[h]saved from their sicknesses.
