Series: Unveiled
Scripture: Mark 6:45–52
Episode: 1432

Scripture Summary:
In Mark 6:45–52, after feeding the 5,000, Jesus sends His disciples ahead by boat while He goes alone to pray on a mountain. As night falls, the disciples struggle against the wind on the sea. In the early morning, Jesus walks on water toward them, and they are terrified, thinking He's a ghost. But He speaks comfort: "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." He gets into the boat, the wind ceases, and they are utterly astonished. The passage notes that they did not understand the miracle of the loaves because their hearts were hardened.
