Mark 6:39-56 ▼

39 And he commaunded them, to make them all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse.

40 And they sate downe, here a rowe, and there a rowe, by hundredes, & by fifties.

41 And when he had take the fiue loaues and the two fisshes, and loked vp to heauen, he blessed, and brake the loaues, & gaue them to his disciples to set before them: and the two fisshes deuided he among them all.

42 And they all did eate, & were satisfied.

43 And they toke vp twelue baskets full, of the fragmentes, & of the fisshes.

44 And they that dyd eate, were about fyue thousande men.

45 And straightway, he constrayned his disciples to go into the shippe, and to go ouer the sea before, vnto Bethsaida, whyle he sent away the people.

46 And assoone as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountayne to pray.

47 And when euen was come, the ship was in the myddes of the sea, and he alone on the lande.

48 And he sawe them troubled in rowyng (for the wynde was contrary vnto them:) And about the fourth watche of the nyght, he came vnto them, walking vppon the sea, and woulde haue passed by them.

49 But when they sawe hym walkyng vpon the sea, they supposed it had ben a spirite, and cryed out.

50 For they all sawe him, & were afraide. And anone he talked with them, & saide vnto them: Be of good cheare, it is I, be not afrayde.

51 And he went vp vnto them into the shippe, and the wynde ceassed, and they were sore amased in themselues beyond measure, and marueyled.

52 For they vnderstoode not the miracle of the loaues, because their heart was hardened.

53 And when they had passed ouer, they came into the lande of Genezareth, and drewe vp into the hauen.

54 And assoone as they were come out of the shippe, straightway they knew him,

55 And ranne foorth throughout all the region rounde about, & began to carry about in beddes those that were sicke, thither, where they heard that he was.

56 And whethersoeuer he entred, into townes, cities, or villages, they layde the sicke folkes in the streates, & prayed him that they myght touche and it were but the hemme of his garment: And as many as touched it, were made whole.
