<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 Saint Mark 6, and beginning with 45th verse.
 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethany, while he sent away the people.
 And when he had sent them away, he departed into the mountain to pray.
 And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
 And he saw them toiling,... rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea, and would have passed by them.
 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and said unto them, Be of a good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their hearts were hardened.
 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew nigh unto the shore.
 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
 And ran through that whole regions around about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, they... where he was.
 And wheresoever he entered, into village, or city, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word.

L-15 I suppose it was just about one hour before sunset, when the big fisherman with his great, huge shoulders begin to push the little boat off of the shore out into the--the lake, and as he finally made his last groan, and shoved the little ship into the water, stepping up and taking his seat by the side of his brother Andrew, picked up the oar and helped to whirl the little ship around. And as they started away from the shore, and hearing the people wave good-bye, when they was out from the hearing distance of the multitude, I can just see them look at one another with amazement, silently set for a few moments.

L-16 And it must have been young John that started the conversation, something like this: "I can remember when I was just a little boy, how my mother used to read the Holy Scriptures to me, and how I would enjoy that story of when God was bringing His people to this blessed land, and had called them by His Name, and it separated them from the unbelieving Egyptians, and drove them into a wilderness, or rather, led them into the wilderness where there was nothing to eat and no good place for vegetation, but had made them a promise that He'd provide for them, if they'd only walk in His ways and keep all His commandments."
And I can hear him say, "One of the amazing stories of that journey was this, that after the little children, mama said, had said their prayers and had laid down to sleep, that God commissioned His Angels, and they went forth all over the sky, and took bread, and broke it all up, and scattered it upon the soft ground. How amazed the little children was the next morning with their parents to rise, and go out, and look, and see what the hand of Jehovah had did, that had sprinkled their daily bread upon the ground. They didn't have to cook it, or--or raise the wheat, or thrash it, but it was cooked, and prepared, and laid on the ground for them."
