Mark:6:45-56

*
Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side ,
to Bethsaida ,
while he dismissed the crowd .
*
And after he had left them ,
he went up on the mountain to pray .
*
When evening came ,
the boat was in the middle of the sea ,
and he was alone on land .
*
And he saw the disciples straining at the oars ,
for the wind was against them .
About the fourth watch of the night he came to them ,
walking on the sea .
He was about to pass by them ,
*
but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost ,
and cried out ;
*
for they all saw him ,
and were terrified .
But immediately he spoke to them and said , »
Take courage !
It is I ;
do not be afraid .«
*
Then he climbed into the boat with them ,
and the wind ceased .
And they were completely amazed ,
*
for they had not understood about the loaves ,
because their hearts were hardened .
*
When they had crossed over ,
they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there .
*
And when they got out of the boat ,
immediately the people recognized him ,
*
and ran about that whole region ,
and began to carry those who were sick around on pallets to wherever they heard he was .
*
Wherever he entered ,
into villages ,
cities ,
or the country ,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces ,
and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment .
And as many as touched him were made well .
