Seeker Overlay ON

* Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side , while he sent the people away . * After he had taken leave of them , he went away into the mountain to pray . * And when evening came , the boat was half-way across the sea , while he was on shore alone ; * but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them ), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them , walking upon the sea , * they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud , for they all saw him and were terrified . * But he at once spoke with them , saying . "Courage ! It is I . Do not be afraid !" * Then he got into the boat beside them , and the wind ceased , and they were utterly astounded , * for they had not understood about the loaves ; on the contrary their heart was hardened . * When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore . * As soon as they got out of the boat , the people at once recognized him , * and began running over that whole country , and carrying the sick about on their beds , wherever they heard he was . * And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak , and all who touched him were made well .
