45 ⁿImmediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, ^ohe went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night¹ he came to them, ^pwalking on the sea. He meant to ^qpass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ^rghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart; ^sit is I. Do not be afraid.” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ^tceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were ^uhardened.

53 ^vWhen they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might ^wtouch ^xeven the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
