Mark 6:51

Miracles and God's interventionProtection and safety

49 but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50 for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
