Mark 6:45-52
Chapter 6
45
Walks on Water
Immediately, Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, toward Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.46
And after sending the people off, he went alone to the hillside to pray.
47
When evening came, the boat was far out on the lake while he was alone on the land.
48
Jesus saw his disciples straining at the oars because the wind was against them, and before daybreak, he came to them walking on the lake, intending to pass by them.
49
When they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost and shouted out;
50
for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately, he called to them:
“Courage! It is I; don’t be afraid!”
51
Then Jesus got into the boat with them, and the wind subsided. They were completely astonished,
52
for they had not fully understood the significance of the loaves; their minds were dull.
