Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Mark 6:45-52

45Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
46After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
47When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
48He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
49but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost —
50for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
52for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
— Mark 6:45-52
