Overview & Insights
"Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." (Mark 6:50)
After the feeding, Jesus sends the disciples ahead by boat and goes up the mountain to pray, then comes to them walking on the sea in the fourth watch, calms their terror and the wind, and heals the sick who touch the fringe of his garment at Gennesaret.
