Mark 6:45-56

[45] And  straightway  he constrained  his  disciples  to get  into  the ship,  and  to  the other side  before  unto  Bethsaida,  while  he  sent away  the people.  [46] And  them  away,  he departed  into  a mountain  to pray.  [47] And  when even  was come,  the ship  in  the midst  of the sea,  and  he  alone  on  the land.  [48] And  them  toiling  in  rowing;  for  the wind  contrary  unto them:  and  about  the fourth  watch  of the night  he cometh  unto  them,  walking  upon  the sea,  and  would  have passed by  them.  [49] But  him  walking  upon  the sea,  they supposed  a spirit,  and  cried out:  [50] For  they all  him,  and  were troubled.  And  immediately  he talked  with  them,  and  saith  unto them,  Be of good cheer:  it is  I;  not  afraid.  [51] And  he went up  unto  them  into  the ship;  and  the wind  ceased:  and  they were sore  amazed  in  themselves  beyond  measure,  and  [52] For  they considered  not  the miracle of  the loaves:  for  their  heart  hardened.  [53] And  when they had passed over,  they came  into  the land  of Gennesaret,  and  drew to the shore.  [54] And  when they  were come  out of  the ship,  straightway  they knew  him,  [55] And ran through  that  whole  and began  to carry about  in  beds  those that were  sick,  where  they heard  he was.  [56] And  whithersoever  he entered,  into  villages,  or  cities,  or  country,  they laid  the sick  in  the streets,  and  besought  him  that  they might touch  it were but  the border  of his  garment:  and  as many  as  touched  him  were made whole.
