Mark 6:45-52
New American Standard Bible
Jesus Walks on the Water
45 (A)And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into (B)the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to (C)Bethsaida, while He Himself *dismissed the crowd. 46 And after (D)saying goodbye to them, He left (E)for the mountain to pray.
47 When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 48 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 intended to pass by them. 49 But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they 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 utterly astonished, 52 for (J)they [d]had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but [e]their hearts (K)were hardened.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Walks Across The Raging Sea
45 And immediately, He compelled[a] His disciples to get into the boat, and to be going ahead to the other side, toward[b] Bethsaida, while He sends-away the crowd. 46 And having said-good-bye to them[c], He went away on the mountain to pray. 47 And having become evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea and He was alone on the land. 48 And having seen them being tormented[d] in the rowing— for the wind was contrary to them— He comes to them around the fourth watch[e] of the night, walking on the sea. And He was intending[f] to pass-by them. 49 But the ones, having seen Him walking on the sea, thought that “It is a phantom[g]”, and cried-out. 50 For they all saw Him and were frightened. But immediately the One spoke with them. And He says to them, “Take-courage, I am[h] the One. Do not be afraid[i]”. 51 And He went up with them in the boat. And the wind stopped. And they were very exceedingly astonished in themselves. 52 For they did not understand[j] on the basis of the loaves-of-bread, but their heart had been hardened.
