*📖GOSPEL* 

They saw Jesus walking on the sea. 

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 6:45-52 

And at once he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side near Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.

After saying goodbye to them he went off into the hills to pray.

When evening came, the boat was far out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

He could see that they were hard pressed in their rowing, for the wind was against them; and about the fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea. He was going to pass them by,

but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and cried out;

for they had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke to them and said, 'Courage! It's me! Don't be afraid.'

Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were utterly and completely dumbfounded,

because they had not seen what the miracle of the loaves meant; their minds were closed.
