Mark 6:45-56

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.” ⁵¹ And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, ⁵² for ^(L)they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts ^(M)were hardened.

Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

^53 (N)When they had crossed over, they came to land at ^(O)Gennesaret and moored to the shore. ⁵⁴ And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately ^(P)recognized him ⁵⁵ and ran about the whole region and began to bring ^(Q)the sick people ^(R)on their beds to wherever they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, ^(S)they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even ^(T)the fringe of his garment. And ^(U)as many as touched it were made well.
